Abstract
Several embodiments of crankcase compression supercharged four-cycle internal combustion engines. Supercharger pressure is controlled by bypassing pressurized gases from the crankcase back to the crankcase downstream of a check valve that permits flow into the crankcase so as to avoid the escape of pressurized gases to the atmosphere and to reduce pumping losses and improve performance. Various positioning of the components is illustrated. Also, an improved and simplified internal EGR system is employed.
