Abstract
Internal combustion engine with variable compression, comprising a crankshaft-bearing crankcase part and a cylinder-receiving part arranged tiltably thereon by means of a tilt axle bearing on one side of the engine and a tilt mechanism on the other, opposite side of the engine. The cylinder-receiving part supports a cylinder head which is securely connected thereto, preferably with camshafts mounted therein. There are prestressing members arranged between the crankcase part and the cylinder-receiving part which force these engine parts apart and work to counteract the occurrence of bearing play in the tilt axle bearing and in the tilt mechanism when compression-modifying tilting movement between the cylinder-receiving part and the crankcase part occurs during running of the engine.
