Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a higher degree of freedom in arranging an oil temperature sensor while suppressing an increase in the size of an engine body having a storage chamber for storing a return oil path for lubricating oil and structural elements of a valve system. SOLUTION: The internal combustion engine 2 comprises a rod chamber 66 formed in a cylinder block 21 for storing a rod 62 of the valve system M1. The rod chamber 66 serves as the return oil path for the lubricating oil after lubricating the valve system M1 in a main valve chamber 67 formed in a cylinder head 22. The oil temperature sensor 95 is mounted on the cylinder block 21 for detecting the temperature of the lubricating oil residing in an oil sump 85 provided in a chamber wall W of the rod chamber 66. In a bottom wall 87 of the oil sump 85, a drain path 92 is formed through which part of the residing lubricating oil consistently flows out of the oil sump 85. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
