A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The cylinder head includes a one piece main body having at least one internal chamber shaped to accommodate at least one rotary valve. At least one first passage extends between the internal chamber and an underside of the main body. A second passage provides communication between the internal chamber and the exterior of the main body and is shaped to allow insertion of a rotary valve therethrough.

The invention claimed is: 1. A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine, comprising: a one piece main body having at least one internal chamber shaped to accommodate at least one rotary valve; at least one first passage, extending between the internal chamber and an underside of the main body, and a second passage, providing communication between the internal chamber and the exterior of the main body at the top of the main body, said second passage being shaped to allow insertion of a rotary valve therethrough the second passage being closed by a substantially flat cover. 2. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein the internal chamber has at least one spherical section adjacent the underside of the main body. 3. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein a circular seal arrangement for sealing against the rotary valve is provided around the first passage. 4. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 3, wherein the circular seal arrangement and the first passage are arranged coaxially. 5. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein a dome shaped recession is provided in an underside of the main body, and wherein the first passage extends between the internal chamber and the dome shaped recession. 6. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein a flow passage is formed in the main body, for fluidly connecting the internal chamber to an air-duct formed in the cylinder head. 7. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein a flow passage is formed in the main body, for fluidly connecting the internal chamber to an exhaust opening in the main body. 8. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein the first and second passages are arranged such that there is a straight line of access through the second passage towards the first passage. 9. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein the main body includes a top surface having at least one angled part, which is non-parallel to the underside, and wherein the second opening extends between the valve chamber and the angled part of the top surface. 10. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 9, wherein an included angle between the angled part and the underside is in the range of 30° to 40°. 11. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 8, wherein the second passage has a main extension which is angled with respect to the underside of the main body. 12. The cylinder head as set forth claim 11, wherein the main extension of the second passage extends at right angles with respect to the angled part of the top surface. 13. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein the internal chamber is shaped to receive at least two rotary valves, and wherein at least one first passage is provided for each rotary valve to be accommodated. 14. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 13, wherein the internal chamber is shaped to receive the at least two rotary valves in a side-by-side arrangement therein. 15. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 13, wherein the main body has an elevated portion between adjacent first passages in the internal chamber. 16. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 15, wherein seats surrounding the first passages are provided for accommodating a seal therein, the seats being at least partially formed in the elevated portion. 17. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 16, wherein a cooling fluid passage is provided within the elevated portion. 18. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein the cover has a flat surface facing towards the main body. 19. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein the cover has projections on the surface facing the main body dimensioned to at least partially fill the second passage. 20. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein the second passage is widened towards the internal chamber. 21. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein the cylinder head includes at least one drive shaft passage extending therethrough, which is parallel to the underside the cylinder head and intersects the internal chamber. 22. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 21, wherein at least one cooling fluid passage is provided circumferentially around the drive shaft passage. 23. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 1, wherein at least one cooling fluid passage is provided adjacent to the internal chamber. 24. The cylinder head as set forth claim 1, wherein the main body includes a plurality of the internal chambers formed therein. 25. The cylinder head as set forth claim 24, wherein the cylinder head includes at least two groups of the internal chambers, each group containing the same number of internal chambers and the internal chambers of each group being aligned along a straight line. 26. The cylinder head as set forth in claim 25, including at least one drive shaft passage extending through the valve chambers of each group. 27. A cylinder head assembly, including a cylinder head as set forth in claim 1. 28. A cylinder head assembly, including a cylinder head as set forth in claim 8, including at least two groups of internal chambers, wherein the internal chambers of one of the two groups is fluidly connected with an air inlet system and the internal chambers of the other group is fluidly connected with an exhaust system. 29. The cylinder head assembly as set forth in claim 27, wherein the second passage is fluidly connected to one of an air-inlet and an exhaust pipe system. 30. A cylinder head assembly, including a cylinder head as set forth in claim 21, wherein at least one bearing is provided in the drive shaft passage adjacent the internal chamber. 31. The cylinder head assembly as set forth in claim 30, wherein a plurality of bearings is provided in the drive shaft passage. 32. The cylinder head assembly as set forth in claim 30, wherein at least one rotary valve is accommodated in the internal chamber. 33. The cylinder head assembly as set forth in claim 31, wherein two rotary valves are accommodated in the internal chamber. 34. The cylinder head assembly as set forth in claim 32, wherein the rotary valve is mounted to a drive shaft extending through the drive shaft passage.
