A three-valve spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine has an auxiliary combustion chamber connected to each main combustion chamber through a torch nozzle. The intake valve for the auxiliary chamber is provided with a skirt for varying the effective size of the torch nozzle under controlled turning movement of the intake valve stem. The effective size of a restricted opening which connects the auxiliary chamber to an adjacent chamber containing the spark plug electrodes is also changed by means of a skirt on the auxiliary intake valve.
