The invention relates to an engine arrangement that increases the degree of freedom of the engine state sensor while decreasing the size of the engine body. More specifically, the engine is formed with a chamber for housing a valve train and serving dually as a return oil path of the lubricating oil after having lubricated t he valve train. The engine includes an oil temperature sensor partially exposed on one side of a cylinder block and an exhaust pipe partially exposed on the opposite side of the cylinder block.
