There are provided a synthetic resin joined body and a method of manufacturing the same, with which it is possible to secure both of sealing performance of a fluid passage and joint strength between synthetic resin parts, even if an area of a portion to be welded is reduced. The synthetic resin joined body includes: a baffle plate; an oil passage forming member which comes in contact with the baffle plate; an oil passage which is formed between the baffle plate and the oil passage forming member and through which lubricant flows; a sealing portion which is formed by welding the baffle plate and the oil passage forming member to each other on an outer side of the oil passage to seal a periphery of the oil passage; and a joint portion for joining the baffle plate and the oil passage forming member to each other.

A method for controlling variable oil pressure to a piston squirter based on piston temperature according to an exemplary embodiment includes a temperature estimation module and an oil pump pressure control module. The temperature estimation module estimates a piston temperature associated with a cylinder based on engine operating conditions. The oil pump pressure control module controls the oil pressure level delivered to at least one of piston squirter associated with the cylinder to selectively spray oil on the piston based on temperature estimations.

Side surfaces of an end cam cap and a pair of side surfaces of a recess for cam cap form two cross-sectional area gradually changing gaps therebetween. A gasket is filled between an inner surface of the recess for cam cap and an outer surface of the end cam cap. The inner surface includes the side surfaces of the recess for cam cap and the outer surface includes the side surfaces of the end cam cap.

The invention relates to a control device for a multi-cylinder engine provided with an oil pump, a hydraulically operated valve characteristic control device which changes valve characteristics of at least one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve; and a hydraulically operated valve stop device which stops at least one of the intake valve and the exhaust valve when a reduced cylinder operation is performed. The control device for a multi-cylinder engine is provided with a valve control unit which operates the valve stop device after an operation of the valve characteristic control device is completed when the valve characteristic control device is operated at a time of request for the reduced cylinder operation.

A system is provided that includes a support structure and a nozzle. The support structure includes a cavity surface and an aperture. The cavity surface at least partially forms a boundary of a cavity. The aperture extends partially into the support structure from the cavity surface. The nozzle includes a mount, a neck and a head. The mount is seated within the aperture. The neck is connected to the mount and extends axially along a centerline away from the surface to the head. The head is configured to inject fluid out of the nozzle and into the cavity.

A cooling cavity is provided inside a piston of an internal combustion engine. Inlet/outlet holes of the cooling cavity are provided in a bottom surface of the piston. A first oil jet that sprays oil toward the inlet/outlet hole, a second oil jet that sprays oil toward a part different from the inlet/outlet hole are included. The first oil jet is caused to spray oil in preference to the second oil jet.

Embodiments are directed toward an engine. In some embodiments, the engine includes a water pump and a balancer shaft. In some embodiments, the water pump has a plain bearing. In some embodiments, plain bearing is supplied with pressurized oil. In some embodiments, the balancer shaft drives the water pump as well as cam shafts.
