An engine includes: an exhaust manifold 7 close to one of left and right side surfaces of an engine; a turbocharger 60 having an exhaust-side inlet connected to the exhaust manifold 7; and a rocker-arm-chamber-integrated intake manifold 8 being disposed on an upper surface of a cylinder head 5 and integrally including a rocker arm chamber 90 and an intake manifold 6. The intake manifold 8 has a wall 101 dividing the rocker arm chamber 90 close to the one of the left and right side surfaces of the engine 1 and the intake manifold 6 close to the other of the left and right side surfaces to isolate the rocker arm chamber 90 and the intake manifold 6 from each other. The rocker arm chamber 90 has, in its upper portion, a positive crankcase ventilation device 69 protruding therefrom and being configured to return blowby gas to an intake system. The positive crankcase ventilation device 69 has, in its side surface, a blowby-gas discharge port 67 connected with a gas conduit 68 through which blowby gas is delivered to an intake-side inlet of the turbocharger 60.

An engine (E) includes a crankcase body (19) including a bottom plate (19a) and a tubular portion (19c), a crankcase cover (20) covering a case opening portion (19b) of the crankcase body (19), a crankshaft (2), a cylinder base portion (21a) located inside the crankcase body (19), a cylinder block (21b) located outside the crankcase body (19), and a camshaft (25) located inside the crankcase body (19) and between the bottom plate (19a) and cylinder base portion (21a). The crankcase body (19) has the bottom plate (19a) detachably attached to the tubular portion (19c).

An internal combustion engine 100 comprising a cylinder head 102, a cylinder head cover 104, an intermediate flange 106 arranged between the head 102 and the head cover 104. A first opening extending from the head cover 104, through the intermediate flange, into the head 102, the first opening includes first internal threads lying inside the cylinder head area, a second opening having an integrated first threaded bolt provided at an end of the intermediate flange touching the cylinder head 102. A plurality of fasteners comprising a screw having a head, and a shaft fastening the head cover 104 and intermediate flange to the head such that the head of the screw rests directly on top of the cylinder head cover 104 when the screw is tightened.

An attachment mechanism for electronic equipment for an engine includes a bracket configured to hold the electronic equipment and a plurality of support portions configured to elastically support the bracket with respect to a head cover of the engine. The support portions are disposed such that a maximum distance between two support portions of the support portions in a direction parallel to a shaft center of a crankshaft of the engine is longer than a maximum distance between the two support portions of the support portions in a direction perpendicular to the shaft center of the crankshaft of the engine.

An engine includes: an exhaust manifold 7 close to one of left and right side surfaces of an engine; a turbocharger 60 having an exhaust-side inlet connected to the exhaust manifold 7; and a rocker-arm-chamber-integrated intake manifold 8 being disposed on an upper surface of a cylinder head 5 and integrally including a rocker arm chamber 90 and an intake manifold 6. The intake manifold 8 has a wall 101 dividing the rocker arm chamber 90 close to the one of the left and right side surfaces of the engine 1 and the intake manifold 6 close to the other of the left and right side surfaces to isolate the rocker arm chamber 90 and the intake manifold 6 from each other. The rocker arm chamber 90 has, in its upper portion, a positive crankcase ventilation device 69 protruding therefrom and being configured to return blowby gas to an intake system. The positive crankcase ventilation device 69 has, in its side surface, a blowby-gas discharge port 67 connected with a gas conduit 68 through which blowby gas is delivered to an intake-side inlet of the turbocharger 60.

An engine (E) includes a crankcase body (19), a crankcase cover (20) covering a case opening portion (19b) of the crankcase body (19), a crankshaft (2), a cylinder base portion 21a located inside the crankcase body (19), a cylinder block (21b) located outside the crankcase body (19). The crankcase cover (20) is detachably attached to an upper portion of the crankcase body (19).

An engine includes: an exhaust manifold 7 close to one of left and right side surfaces of an engine; a turbocharger 60 having an exhaust-side inlet connected to the exhaust manifold 7; and a rocker-arm-chamber-integrated intake manifold 8 being disposed on an upper surface of a cylinder head 5 and integrally including a rocker arm chamber 90 and an intake manifold 6. The intake manifold 8 has a wall 101 dividing the rocker arm chamber 90 close to the one of the left and right side surfaces of the engine 1 and the intake manifold 6 close to the other of the left and right side surfaces to isolate the rocker arm chamber 90 and the intake manifold 6 from each other.
