An internal combustion engine for use with hydrogen fuel is provided, the engine having at least one cylinder assembly. The or each cylinder assembly comprises a combustion chamber comprising a cylinder, a cylinder head and a reciprocating piston assembly; two inlet ports within the cylinder head, the inlet ports being selectively closable by a corresponding inlet valve; at least one outlet port within the cylinder head, the at least one outlet port being selectively closable by a corresponding outlet valve; and at least one spark plug mounted to the cylinder head. The cylinder head comprises a first face and a second face inclined relative to one another and meeting at an apex. The two inlet ports are located within the first face and the or each outlet port are located within the second face. This is such that the or each inlet port is configured to generate a tumbling motion of the fuel air mixture prior to ignition thereof. The cylinder head is secured by six fasteners, such as six bolts to an engine block defining the cylinder.
