Abstract
An oil pan-coupled surface formed on a lower surface of an engine block having a crankshaft supported to be directed vertically is extended below a cylinder head beyond a line L extending downwards from a cylinder head-coupled surface formed on a rear surface of the engine block Thus, it is possible to increase the area of the oil pan-coupled surface without interference with the cylinder head-coupled surface and to increase the volume of an oil pan coupled to the oil pan-coupled surface . Moreover, the cylinder head-coupled surface and the oil pan-coupled surface are not continuous with each other and hence, there is no possibility that the sealing of the coupled surfaces and may be impeded.
