Abstract

This invention relates to an intake port structure for an internal combustion engine. It is an object of the present invention to increase the strength of tumbling without lowering the maximum flow rate. An intake port (44) is constructed broader in a tumble-flow-side half (44a) than in the other half (44b) to have an intake air flow through the intake port (44) off-centered toward the side of a tumble flow, whereby an intake air flow from the intake port (44) promotes the tumble flow.
