A second exhaust poppet valve 9 is provided in a portion of a combustion chamber expanded out of a main cylinder 1. A valve cover 7 reciprocates within a sub-cylinder 4 and covers a bottom surface of the second exhaust poppet valve 9. A first exhaust valve 10 and an intake poppet valve 11 are provided so as to face an upper surface of a piston 2. After the second exhaust poppet valve 9 is opened and hot high-pressure burned gas starts to flow away, the first exhaust poppet valve 10 is opened. As a result, the temperature of the first exhaust poppet valve 10 is reduced and the compression ratio can be increased. Then, a work amount of the piston is increased. The increased work amount compensates an amount of cooling loss due to increasing a surface area of the combustion chamber.
A spark ignition four-stroke cycle engine having a cylinder head, a cylinder block, a main cylinder, a piston which reciprocates within the main cylinder, a combustion chamber, an ignition plug, a sub-cylinder, a valve cover, an intake poppet valve, a first exhaust poppet valve and a second exhaust poppet valve, the combustion chamber being expanded out of the main cylinder, the sub-cylinder being provided external to the main cylinder, the second exhaust poppet valve being provided on a wall surface of the combustion chamber expanded out of the main cylinder, the first exhaust poppet valve and the intake poppet valve being provided on other wall surface of the combustion chamber which faces an upper surface of the piston, the valve cover reciprocating within the sub-cylinder, the valve cover covering a bottom surface of a head portion of the second exhaust poppet valve, a piston ring being provided between the valve cover and the sub-cylinder, and a cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the valve cover having two semi-peripheral surfaces, and a path being formed for communicating between one of the semi-peripheral surfaces which is closer to a central axis of the main cylinder and a space within the main cylinder, characterized in that
