A metal mold arrangement for producing a closed deck type cylinder block in which a plurality of bridge portions partly cover an open end of a water jacket at a top deck side of the cylinder block. A water jacket die provides a configuration of a water jacket. A plurality of recesses are formed in the water jacket die, and each separate core having a shape complementary to the recess is insetted in each recess. Each separate core has a top deck side end face and a crank case side end face opposite thereto. The two faces are slanted in a direction opposite to each other for serving as drafts. A bottom of each recess is also slanted coincident with the slant of the top deck side end face, and each bridge portion is formed adjacent the bottom of the recess. Upon solidification of a molten metal, the water jacket die is removed from the casted product while each separate core remains in a resultant water jacket. Each of the separate core can be moved toward a direction to increase a distance between the end faces within the water jacket and can be offset from each bridge portion, thereby removing the separate core from the water jacket.
