Abstract
A crankshaft holding structure for use in an internal combustion engine has a front crankshaft supported by a radial roller bearing that is fixed to a crankcase and has an inner side surface . A land of the front crankshaft is held in abutment against the inner side surface to limit crankshafts against axial elongation and deformation. The radial roller bearing has an outside diameter D that is the same as an outside diameter of a radial ball bearing . The forgoing arrangement includes simplified bushings cast in a crankcase and having bearing press-fitted therein, that allows the bushings to be used as common parts.
