Abstract

A multicylinder, especially six or eight cylinder internal combustion engine, which includes a valve shut off and a cam shaft on which is arranged a hollow shaft. The hollow shaft includes cams and is non-rotatably supported on the cam shaft. The hollow shaft is adapted to be connected with transmitting elements operating the valves of the respective cylinders which may be shut off. A connection to the transmitting elements between the cams of the hollow shaft and the transmission elements is eliminated by an axial displacement of the hollow shaft.
