Abstract
A camshaft assembly support structure includes two camshaft assemblies including two shafts parallel to each other and cam pieces fitted on an outer surface of each of the two shafts, support members independent from each other and each including two bearings receiving the two shafts, the bearings each having a bearing surface seamless over an entire inner circumference, and positioning members each having a through hole receiving and tightly holding the shaft. The positioning members are positioned on both sides of each of the support members to position the support members in the axial direction of the shafts with the shafts being received in the bearings.
