Abstract

A valve operating system for an internal combustion engine has an engine valve having a valve shaft portion and a valve body portion at an end tip of the valve shaft portion. The engine valve is supported on the body of the engine for opening and closing operations. A double cylindrical piston forms an air pressure chamber, with the air pressure biasing the valve in a valve closing direction. A driving member for driving the engine valve in a valve opening direction is operatively connected to the rear end of the valve shaft portion.
