Abstract

A multicylinder internal combustion engine with valve disconnection wherein an intermediate mechanical device is interposed between an end of the valve stem end and a valve actuating mechanism with the intermediate mechanical device arbitrarily serving, in one case, as a rigid intermediate member between the end of the valve stem and the valve actuating mechanism and, in another case, in a closed setting of the valve, abolishes or eliminates the interconnection between the end of the valve stem and the valve actuating means.
