Abstract
A vertical engine includes: an oil pump provided adjacent to the lower surface of a cylinder barrel and connected to a lower end portion of a cam gear shaft to be driven by the gear shaft; a first lubricating oil passageway for supplying lubricating oil from the oil pump to a lower bearing of a crankshaft; a second lubricating oil passageway extending through the crankshaft from the lower bearing to an upper bearing of the crankshaft; a third lubricating oil passageway provided adjacent to the upper surface of the barrel and extending from the crankcase to immediately below stem end portions of intake and exhaust valves so that lubricating oil leaked from the second lubricating oil passageway flows therethrough; and a fourth lubricating oil passageway for returning lubricating oil, dripped down from the third lubricating oil passageway to the stem end portions, to the pump.
