The patent application describes a variable displacement internal combustion engine designed to provide increased vehicular mileage without sacrificing power, to reduce friction losses at cruising speeds, and to reduce engine fuel costs without unduly increasing engine manufacturing and maintenance costs. The novel variable displacement combination comprises a main lnk having two ends, the main link being rotatably connected at one end to the crankshaft, a piston link connected to the piston and to the main link at its second end and a control link connected to the second end of the main link. The position of the control link controls the movement of the second end of the main link relative to the crankshaft to thereby control the length of the stroke of the piston within the cylinder.
