A cylinder block for an engine has a cylinder assembly having a plurality of cylinders, each corresponding to one of a plurality of pistons. A block body has an outer wall accommodating the cylinder assembly, a crankcase accommodating the crankshaft, and a plurality of partitions. The partitions divide the space in the crankcase into a plurality of crank chambers. The number of the crank chambers corresponds to the number of the cylinders. The outer wall, the crankcase, and the partitions are formed integrally. A partition through portion is formed in a predetermined one of the partitions to connect an adjacent pair of the crank chambers. The partition through portion opens toward the cylinders.
