A mechanism for varying the compression ratio of an internal combustion engine while the engine is running comprising a number of beams (1) to which the crankshaft is securely attached by a cradle (2). The cradle (2) and the beams (1) are tilted by the rotation of an eccentric shaft (3) thereby lowering or rising the crankshaft assembly which has the effect of varying the gap between the piston crown and cylinder head thereby lowering or raising the compression ratio accordingly.
