The symmetrical admission and exhaust cam for three cylinder gasoline engine has profile line with the work section equation of h=(hmax-hr)(1+c2A2+c4A4+cpAp+cqAq+crAr+csAs), where, h is the lift of the cam work section, hmax is the maximum lift and equals to 7.3-7.5 mm, hr is the lift of cam buffer section and equals to 0.3-0.35 mm, A is cam angle, p, q, r and s are indexes, c4=0.1, p=14, q=28, r=42, and s=56. The cam has base circle diameter of 33 mm, contact width to the jib of 10 mm, total contact angle of 167-172 deg, work section angle of 121 deg, and buffer section angle of 46-52 deg. The symmetrical admission and exhaust cam has the advantages of capacity of reaching excellent dynamic characteristic of gasoline engine and smooth running of the valve mechanism, and small thickness.
