OIL DROP STRUCTURE FOR ENGINE

摘要

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil drop structure for an engine capable of avoiding interference with an oil supply passage of an oil drop passage while reducing passage resistance by shortening the oil supply passage between an oil cooler and an oil filter which are mounted in an arrangement to be aligned at upper and lower positions on a sidewall on one side of an engine body. Ž<P>SOLUTION: An upper oil drop passage 41 is formed substantially straight so that the oil drop passage 40 formed on the sidewall of the engine body does not interfere with the oil supply passage between the oil cooler and the oil filter. An oil cooler mounting seat part 13 is formed in a frame shape having a space 42 formed thereinside, the space 42 being blocked when the oil cooler 10 is mounted thereon. The upper oil drop passage 41 and a lower oil drop passage 43 are communicated with their positions shifted in the space 42. The lower oil drop passage 43 is opened downward toward an oil pan via an open groove 44 formed on a block bonding face. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
