Abstract
A crankcase for an internal combustion engine, has main bearing walls including main bearing blocks, and side walls with skirtlike extensions, the side of each main bearing block being at least partially separated from the inner surfaces of the side walls by a recess, the recess having a curved contour, at least in sections, whose curvature increases continuously from the side face of the bearing block to the inner surface of the side wall to avoid critical stresses in the area of the main bearing block.
