Abstract

A cylinder head for a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with relatively small cylinder diameter, with a V-arrangement of two inlet valves and two exhaust valves each, which are actuated from a centrally arranged cam shaft by way of rocker arms; each rocker arm provided for the actuation of an inlet valve or each rocker arm provided for the actuation of an exhaust valve is supported overhung or all rocker arms are supported centrally while the spark plug is so arranged that the center longitudinal axis through the spark plug extends approximately parallel to the inlet valves or exhaust valves between the same and the cam shaft.
