An exhaust gas recirculation device for an engine having a cylinder head with a suction port and an exhaust port, provided with a mechanism for recirculating a portion of exhaust gas to the suction side of the cylinder head, comprises a connection hole is opened through a wall of the cylinder head disposed between the suction port and the exhaust port. The connection hole is bored vertically slantwise. The connection hole at the suction side is opened along the direction of swirls of sucked air. A throttle is disposed in at least either a suction flow passage communicating with the suction port or an exhaust flow passage communicating with the exhaust port so that the opening area of the suction flow passage or the exhaust flow passage can be adjusted by the throttle.
An exhaust gas recirculation device for an engine having a cylinder head with a suction port opened to an air suction valve through an air suction valve hole and with an exhaust port opened to an air exhaust valve through an air exhaust valve hole, provided with a mechanism for recirculating a portion of exhaust gas to the suction side of the cylinder head, characterized in that a connection hole is bored slantwise through a wall of the cylinder head disposed between the suction port and the exhaust port so as to cross a phantom line between centers of the air suction and exhaust valves so that an end of the connection hole opened to the air suction valve hole is disposed along the direction of swirls of sucked air.
An exhaust gas recirculation device for an engine having a cylinder head with a suction port and an exhaust port, provided with a mechanism for recirculating a portion of exhaust gas to the suction side of the cylinder head, characterized in that a connection hole is opened through a wall of the cylinder head disposed between the suction port and the exhaust port, wherein a throttle is disposed in an exhaust flow passage communicating with the exhaust port so that the opening area of the exhaust flow passage can be adjusted by the throttle, characterized in that the throttle is operatively connected to a control lever of a fuel injection pump for adjusting the amount of injected fuel.
