A precombustion-chamber engine includes a cylinder, a cylinder head disposed on a top of the cylinder, and a piston reciprocably disposed within the cylinder. A main combustion chamber is defined between the piston and the cylinder head. The cylinder head includes a precombustion-chamber forming part which defines a precombustion chamber communicating with the main combustion chamber through a nozzle. The precombustion chamber includes a cylindrical first passage part extending upwardly from the nozzle, a second passage part extending upwardly from the first passage part and having an upwardly-increasing cross-sectional area, and a cylindrical space part which extends upwardly from the second passage part and in which a spark plug is disposed. Center O of a cross-section, orthogonal to straight line L, of the second passage part is eccentric with respect to straight line L composed of an axis of the first passage part and an extended line of the axis.
