Abstract
A baffle plate configuration of an internal combustion engine according to a first embodiment of the invention is provided below a rotational member arranged on or near a crankshaft and prevents the rotational members and lubricant in a pan from interfering each other. The baffle plate includes a preventing portion that is provided at an end portion of the baffle plate located in the side that is opposite, in the axial direction of the crankshaft, to the side where a larger amount of lubricant returns to the pan. The preventing portion prevents piston pumping air generated above the baffle plate from entering a space below the baffle plate through the end portion of the baffle plate.
