Abstract

A valve-controlled internal combustion engine has the amount of twist in the combustion air flowing through a curved inlet channel to a valve chamber controlled by a control rod extending across the bottom wall of the inlet channel near the valve chamber and rotatable from outside the engine to change the cross sectional dimensions of the inlet channel and increase or decrease the twist in the flow of combustion air therepast.
