V-type internal combustion engine

摘要

The invention provides a V-type internal combustion engine capable of forming a breather path having a sufficiently large flow path area without enlarging a cylinder block. A 5-cylinder V-type internal combustion engine includes a breather apparatus, a crankshaft having three crankpins and a cylinder block (1) formed with a front bank (4F) of three cylinders and a rear bank (4R) of two cylinders. Each of two crankpins disposed at both ends is connected with both of two connecting rods connected to pistons fitted to cylinder bores formed in the front and the rear banks (4F and 4R), a crankpin disposed at a middle is connected only with a connecting rod connected to a piston fitted to a cylinder bore (B3) formed at a middle of the front bank (4F) and in the rear bank (4R), a breather path (67) of a breather apparatus is formed at a space portion (60) between the two cylinder bores at a position opposed to the cylinder bore (B3) at the middle. <IMAGE>
