Integrally fastening a cylinder block,and a crankcase,together by dividing the cylinder block,and the crankcase,at a dividing surface,passing through the center of a crankshaft,vertically arranged and screwing a bolt,inserted from the crankcase,side in the cylinder block,. The bolt,fastening the crankcase,to the cylinder block,is prevented from interfering with a pair of left and right secondary balancer shafts,by supporting both the secondary balancer shafts by the cylinder block,, but not by the crankcase,to increase the degree of freedom of the layout of both the secondary balancer shafts
