PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve fuel economy while ensuring cooling performance and reliability of an engine, by devising a configuration of water jackets in a cylinder block and a cylinder head to efficiently reduce a heat load on the engine even with a low volume of cooling water. SOLUTION: The water jacket 15 of the cylinder block 1 is sectioned into an upper part 15a and a lower part 15b by a partition wall 16 and they are brought into communication with each other through block communication holes 15c. Communication holes 21a are formed in the cylinder head 2 for bringing the upper art 15a into communication with the water jacket 21 of the cylinder head 2. The communication holes 21a are provided near centers of cylinder bores in a cylinder row direction on an exhaust side of the cylinder bores 1a. The communication holes 21a on the exhaust side are opened to exhaust side valve bridge portions 2d of the cylinder head 2. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
