Abstract
In an internal combustion engine, an oil separator provided in a blowby gas passage is attached to a side wall of a cylinder block. A first communicating passage and a second communicating passage via which the inside of a crankcase is connected to the oil separator are formed in the cylinder block. An opening of the first communicating passage on the crankcase side and an opening of the second communicating passage on the crankcase side are placed to be distanced from the center of the crankcase in the extending direction of a crankshaft so as to sandwich the center of the crankcase. No passage via which the inside of the crankcase is connected to the oil separator is provided between the first communicating passage and the second communicating passage.
