Abstract
A two-cylinder overhead-valve V-engine has two cylinders arranged so as to form a V-bank (S). Each cylinder is provided with push rods ( ) for operating an intake valve rocker arm ( ) and an exhaust valve rocker arm ( ). The push rods ( ) of each cylinder extend gradually away from each other toward a valve rocker arm chamber. An air intake passage is formed between the push rods ( ) in the cylinder head ( ) of each cylinder. An air intake port ( ) is formed in the cylinder head ( ) so as to open into the V-bank (S). The air intake port ( ) of each cylinder head ( ) is connected by the air intake passage formed in the V-bank (S) to a carburetor disposed in the V-bank (S). A water jacket outlet ( ) is formed near the air intake port ( ) in a part of the cylinder head ( ) in between the push rods( ). The water jacket outlets ( ) of the cylinder heads ( ) are connected by a cooling water passage adjacent to the air intake passage.
