Abstract
A V-type internal-combustion engine has two banks of cylinders, each with a cylinder-head housing which is covered by cylinder-head cover and, on each end face, by an end cover. Camshafts are driven via chain wheels by a common chain which is led through a free space between the two banks of cylinders in a well housing. To reduce jumps in sealing surfaces which present sealing problems, the well housing is arranged at a distance from the parting planes between the cylinder-head housings and cylinder-head covers and is fastened solely between the cylinder-head housings and the end covers.
