In a valve movement control system of an internal combustion engine, a hydraulic operational characteristic variable mechanism with no operational lag or a shortened operational lag on re-starting of the engine is provided. The valve movement control system comprises a camshaft having a cam journal supported for rotation by a support member, a hydraulic operational characteristic variable mechanism provided on the camshaft, an oil pressure control valve, and a control oil passage for supplying operating oil to the operational characteristic variable mechanism through a plurality of members including the camshaft and the support member. An operating oil reserve chamber is provided above the cam journal for supplementing operating oil flowing out through a minute gap between the cam journal and the support member when the engine is stopped. <IMAGE> |
