A variable valve timing apparatus for cooperating with a cam shaft to vary timing of an action of a first cylinder valve (101, 103) of a first cylinder of an internal combustion engine, the variable valve timing apparatus comprising: - a first timing control member and - a first arm rotatably coupled to the first timing control member about a first arm axis (F1-F1), wherein: - the first arm comprises a first follower portion having a first surface in operable cooperation with a first cam of the cam shaft and a second surface in operable cooperation with the first cylinder valve (101, 103); and - the first timing control member is rotatable or movable to cause the first arm axis (F1-F1) to rotate about the cam shaft axis (C-C), thereby angularly moving the first follower portion about the cam shaft axis (C-C) between a first angular position and a second angular position to alter timing of the action of the first cylinder valve relative to a reference timing, charaterized in - that further comprised is a second arm rotatably coupled to the first timing control member about a second arm axis (F2-F2), - that the second arm comprises a second follower portion comprising a first surface in operable cooperation with a second cam of the cam shaft and a second surface in operable cooperation with a second cylinder valve (102, 104) of a second cylinder of the internal combustion engine, and - that rotation or movement of the first timing control member causes the second arm axis (F2-F2) to rotate about the cam shaft axis (C-C), thereby angularly moving the second follower portion about the cam shaft axis (C-C) between a third angular position and a fourth angular position in order to alter timing of an action of the second cylinder valve (102, 104) relative to the reference timing. - a first timing control member and - a first arm rotatably coupled to the first timing control member about a first arm axis (F1-F1), - the first arm comprises a first follower portion having a first surface in operable cooperation with a first cam of the cam shaft and a second surface in operable cooperation with the first cylinder valve (101, 103); and - the first timing control member is rotatable or movable to cause the first arm axis (F1-F1) to rotate about the cam shaft axis (C-C), thereby angularly moving the first follower portion about the cam shaft axis (C-C) between a first angular position and a second angular position to alter timing of the action of the first cylinder valve relative to a reference timing, - that further comprised is a second arm rotatably coupled to the first timing control member about a second arm axis (F2-F2), - that the second arm comprises a second follower portion comprising a first surface in operable cooperation with a second cam of the cam shaft and a second surface in operable cooperation with a second cylinder valve (102, 104) of a second cylinder of the internal combustion engine, and - that rotation or movement of the first timing control member causes the second arm axis (F2-F2) to rotate about the cam shaft axis (C-C), thereby angularly moving the second follower portion about the cam shaft axis (C-C) between a third angular position and a fourth angular position in order to alter timing of an action of the second cylinder valve (102, 104) relative to the reference timing.
