Abstract

A compact arrangement for an inline multiple-cylinder engine for driving a pair of twin overhead camshafts. The camshafts are driven by a drive that includes an intermediate shaft and at least a portion of the drive and the intermediate shaft is accessible through one or more openings formed in the side of the engine body. A manifold is also provided on this side of the engine and is configured so that it does not substantially obstruct the openings.
