Title: Cam engine

Abstract

This patent describes a disk valve structure in an internal combustion cam engine, the valve having an axis of rotation and disposed within a housing for feeding and exhausting fuel mixtures. The housing has on each side thereof a pair of cylinder blocks with each block having a pair of cylinders disposed on opposite sides of the axis of rotation. The improvement consists of: each of the cylinder blocks having at least one carbureting source adjacent each cylinder thereof, the disk valve being configured to conduct fuel mixture to each cylinder of each pair of blocks from the carbureting source disposed on the opposite cylinder of the respective block, whereby fuel mixture may absorb heat from the disk valve during an intake stroke of each individual cylinder.
