First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder block and a cylinder head, and having a cam chain chamber on a side of the cylinder block, wherein a beam member that traverses the cam chain chamber is disposed in the cam chain chamber. 2 . The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein the beam member is detachably mounted in the cam chain chamber. 3 . The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein the beam member overlaps with the cylinder chamber of the cylinder block as viewed in a side view. 4 . The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein the beam member is formed on a portion having a thin wall thickness between the cam chain chamber and the cylinder chamber of the cylinder block in cross section of the cylinder block. 5 . The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the beam members are disposed in the cam chain chamber. 6 . The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein the beam member is disposed within winding of the cam chain. 7 . The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein the beam member is disposed close to either one of cam chain lines that reciprocate in the cam chain chamber. 8 . The internal combustion engine according to claim 7 , wherein the beam member is disposed close to the cam chain line on a side opposite to a tensioner. 9 . The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein the beam member is disposed in a vicinity of a mating surface between the cylinder block and the cylinder head.
