Abstract

A spark-ignition internal combustion engine having a combustion chamber, comprises intake and exhaust valves disposed on a cylinder head wall surface and positioned generally symmetrical with each other with respect to the center axis of the bore of an engine cylinder, at least first and second squish areas which are located respectively in first and second sections of the combustion chamber which sections are defined by dividing the combustion chamber into two by a first vertical plane containing the centers of the intake and exhaust valves, and a spark plug whose tip section is disposed on the cylinder head wall surface and positioned in said first section of the combustion chamber thereby enabling use of high compression ratio without causing engine knock.
