[0031] As Figures 2 - 10As shown in the figure, the cylinder head 4, cylinder barrel 1, front valve body 14, rear valve body 18, and rear valve cover 22 are designed to be hollow. The connecting screw of the valve core position detecting transmission 6 passes through the cylinder head 4 and is connected to the adapter nut inside the cylinder barrel 1.
