Abstract
A cooling and lubricating system for an internal combustion engine wherein an oil cooler and oil filter are mounted at a lower portion of the cylinder block in a recess formed by the crankcase member to provide a compact assembly and wherein the oil filter is readily accessible. All of the passages for supplying lubricant and coolant to and from the oil cooler and oil filter are formed integrally in the body of the engine so as to avoid the use of external conduits.
