An engine includes an output shaft, a cylinder head, a cylinder block, and a plurality of head bolts. The cylinder block includes three or more cylinder parts, a plurality of connecting portions, a plurality of output shaft supporting parts, and a plurality of head bolt holes. A side wall face of at least one cylinder part includes a first rib. The first rib diagonally extends from the connecting portion toward a head bolt hole base.

An engine includes an output shaft, a cylinder block, a cylinder head, a cap portion, and head bolts. The cylinder block, the cylinder head, and the cap portion are fastened together with the head bolts. The cylinder block includes a cylinder portion and a plurality of output shaft supporting portions. When an outer wall face of at least one of the plurality of output shaft supporting portions is viewed along an output shaft axial direction, the outer wall face includes a first rib diagonally extending from a supporting portion of the output shaft toward one of two head bolt holes.

Systems are provided for a cooling arrangement of an engine. In one example, a system includes a first coolant passage and a second coolant passage arranged in a cylinder bridge between directly adjacent cylinders, wherein the first coolant passage and the second coolant passage are separated from one another.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a cylinder housing of an internal combustion engine. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the cylinder housing includes at least two adjacently arranged cylinders, each of which includes a wet cylinder liner, a support structure, and a coolant jacket arranged between the support structure and the cylinder liner. The cylinder housing further including at least one screw receptacle for a cylinder head screw, and is positioned between at least two adjacently arranged cylinders in a region of at least one engine transverse plane.

A cylinder head cover includes: a body; and a high rigidity part having a higher rigidity than the body; wherein a part between both ends of a fuel pipe is mounted to the high rigidity part.

A modular engine is provided in which cylinder heads and camshaft carriers with different attributes can be interchanged with one another that allows for an engine head assembly to be put together for achieving various desired characteristics without the need to replace the entire engine or redesign a new engine.

A camshaft housing includes two longitudinal frame bars and lateral frame bars. The longitudinal frame bars extend in the axial direction of a camshaft. The lateral frame bars extend between the longitudinal frame bars. A bearing portion is arranged in each of the lateral frame bars to rotationally support the camshaft. Each lateral frame bar has a bolt hole to receive a bolt that is inserted through the bolt hole to fix the camshaft housing to a cylinder head body. The bolt hole extends through the lateral frame bar and is arranged on the outer side of the bearing portion in the longitudinal direction of the lateral frame bar. Each longitudinal frame bar has a vibration reducing portion. The cross-sectional area of the longitudinal frame bar gradually changes in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal frame bar.

An engine and a method of forming an engine are provided. The engine has a block that defines a cooling jacket extending continuously about an outer perimeter of first and second siamesed cylinders. The block defines a series of head bolt bores intersecting a deck face such that each cylinder is surrounded by four bores. The jacket has a first floor and a second floor. The second floor is offset above the first floor and extends along an intake side of the block between midpoints of the first and second cylinders, respectively. The second floor is configured to decouple a relationship between the cooling jacket and the series of bores for each cylinder and reduce fourth order bore distortion for each cylinder.

The present invention relates to a sealing arrangement for a rotatable shaft of a combustion engine. The rotatable shaft comprises a crankshaft journal, a crankshaft gear and a flywheel. The sealing arrangement comprises a sealing member configured to be arranged in an annular space between a surface defining an opening for said rotatable shaft through a stationary wall of the combustion engine and an outer periphery surface of the rotatable shaft. The sealing member comprises a radially outer portion to be fixedly arranged to the surface defining said opening. The crankshaft gear comprises a portion provided with a smooth outer periphery surface and that the sealing member comprises a radially inner portion comprising at least one sealing lip configured to sealingly abut against the outer periphery surface of the crankshaft gear.
