In the vehicle structure for mounting an air-cooled internal combustion engine, a crankcase is supported by a body frame in such a manner that crankcase hanger bosses on the crankcase are joined to the body frame via crankcase hanger plates. A cylinder head has left and right cylinder head hanger seating surfaces formed perpendicular to a left-right horizontal direction by cutting out right and left symmetric areas close to side edges of left and right side faces of the cylinder head along with parts of cooling fins. One ends of left and right cylinder head hanger members are fastened respectively to cylinder head hanger attaching seats on which the left and right cylinder head hanger seating surfaces of the cylinder head are formed. The other ends of the left and right cylinder head hanger members are fastened individually to the body frame. The structure is capable of using an engine body itself to improve stiffness of a body frame without use of any particular reinforcing members.

A motor engine having an oxygen sensor is provided, including: a cylinder head, including a main body and a protruding tube protruding outwardly from the main body, the main body including a first end portion, a second end, and a combustion chamber, the protruding tube having a protrusive receptacle protruding outwardly therefrom, the main body defining an axial direction; an exhaust passage, communicated with the combustion chamber and the protruding tube; an oxygen sensor, inserted into the protrusive receptacle, including a sensing portion which is inserted into the exhaust passage; wherein as viewed in a lateral direction of the cylinder head, two surfaces of the main body along the axial direction disposed on two opposite sides defines two boundary lines, the oxygen sensor and the main body are in an overlapping arrangement and does not protrude out of the two boundary lines.

An internal combustion may include a cylinder having a first combustion chamber at one end and a second combustion chamber at an opposing end, first and second cylinder heads located at an end of the first and second combustion chambers, respectively, and a double-faced piston slidably mounted within the cylinder. The piston may be configured to move in the cylinder in a work stroke from one end to another. The work stroke may include an expansion stroke portion, a momentum stroke portion, and a compression stroke portion. The engine may further include first and second piston rod portions extending from opposite faces of the piston. Passageways in the piston rod portions may be configured to communicate gases between a combustion chamber and a location outside the cylinder.

An actively cooled air cylinder for a motorcycle engine comprising a cylinder block. The cylinder block may comprise an upper mounting surface, a lower mounding surface, an internal bore extending between the upper mounting surface and the lower mounting surface, a forward facing surface, a rear facing surface, and first and second side surfaces. Each of the surfaces may comprise a plurality of fins and a plurality of cooling channels located between each of the plurality of fins. The cooling channels may comprise a series of peaks and valleys that configured provide turbulent flow of air over the cylinder block when airflow contacts the cylinder.

An internal combustion engine that can ensure an adequate cooling performance by using a small number of component parts, and can be minimized in size. The cooling device includes a boiling water cooling device including a water jacket, coolant piping, steam piping and a radiator, an air cooling fan connected to one end of a crankshaft projecting from an outer surface of the engine main body, and a cover member provided on the engine main body so as to cover the air cooling fan, and define a cooling air passage extending to a radiator core.
