An engine powered hand-held power tool and engine lubrication method is provided, the power tool being intended to be carried by an operator during use. The power tool has a frame, including a handle to be grasped by the operator, an implement affixed to the frame having a rotary input member, and a small four-cycle, lightweight, internal combustion engine attached to the frame for driving the implement. The four-cycle engine has a lightweight aluminum alloy engine block having a cylindrical bore and an enclosed oil reservoir formed therein. A crankshaft is rotatably mounted in the engine block for rotation about a crankshaft axis. A piston reciprocates within the bore and is connected to the crankshaft by a connecting rod. An oil splasher driven by the crankshaft intermittently engages the oil within the enclosed oil reservoir to splash-lubricate the engine. The engine is provided with a cylinder head assembly defining a compact combustion chamber having a pair of overhead intake and exhaust ports and cooperating intake and exhaust valves. A lightweight, high-powered engine is thereby provided having relatively low HC and CO emissions.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A lightweight, low emission, single-cylinder, four cycle, spark ignition internal combustion engine suitable for use on portable power equipment comprising:an engine block having a piston cylinder, a cylinder head, an oil reservoir for storage of lubrication oil, and a
[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A lightweight, low emission, single-cylinder, four cycle, spark ignition internal combustion engine suitable for use on portable power equipment comprising:an engine block having a piston cylinder, a cylinder head, an oil reservoir for storage of lubrication oil, and a cam housing, said cylinder, said reservoir and said cam housing being in fluid communication;a piston slidably disposed for reciprocation in said piston cylinder;a crankshaft rotatably mounted in said engine block, said crankshaft including a crank portion and a counterweight;a connecting rod attached to said piston and said crankshaft thereby forming a piston-connecting rod-crankshaft assembly;an intake port and an exhaust port in said cylinder head;a valve cover on said cylinder head defining a valve chamber;intake and exhaust valves mounted in said intake and exhaust ports, respectively, for reciprocation between port-open and port-closed positions;a valve-actuating assembly including at least one rocker arm and at least one push rod, aid push rod having one end extending into said valve chamber and engaging said rocker arm;a cam mounted for rotation in said cam housing, said cam being drivably connected to said crankshaft and driven at less than crankshaft speed, whereby rotation of said cam drives said valve-actuating assembly with a reciprocating motion;an oil mist generator operatively connected to said piston-connecting rod-crankshaft assembly for generating an oil mist from said lubrication oil in said oil reservoir; andan engine lubrication system including an oil mist flow passage extending between said reservoir and said valve chamber, an oil mist return passage extending from said valve chamber to said reservoir and an oil flow control valve reciprocating between open and closed positions with increases and decreases in gas pressure in said engine block below said piston as said piston slidably reciprocates in said piston cylinder, whereby lubrication of said piston-connecting rod-crankshaft assembly, said intake and exhaust valves, said valve-actuating assembly, and said cam is achieved when said piston slidably reciprocates in said piston cylinder thereby driving said piston-connecting rod-crankshaft assembly and oil mist generator, said oil mist generator thereby creating a lubrication oil mist in said reservoir, said oil mist being conducted from the reservoir to the valve chamber through said flow passage and then back to said reservoir through said return passage.
