Abstract
A multi-cylinder engine wherein a direction in which a crank shaft spans is a front and rear direction and a widthwise direction of a cylinder head () perpendicular to the front and rear direction is a lateral direction, the multi-cylinder engine comprising the cylinder head () which has one lateral side to which an intake-air distributing passage wall () and has the other lateral side to which an exhaust-gas converging passage wall (), a common rail () being arranged around the cylinder head (). In this multi-cylinder engine, the common rail () is arranged immediately lateral of the intake-air distributing passage wall (), thereby positioning the intake-air distributing passage wall () between the cylinder head () and the common rail (). Preferably, an intake-air inlet pipe () is made to stand up at an upper portion of the intake-air distributing passage wall () and is provided with an intake-air flange portion (), which is positioned just above the common rail ().
