| Summary: | 1. Field of the Invention
Formed in a cylinder block of a multi-cylinder engine are oil grooves each arranged in a top deck of the cylinder block to surround a corresponding cylinder liner, a supply channel connected to an oil pump, a return channel connected to an oil pan, communication holes interconnecting adjacent oil grooves in series, an inflow hole connecting the most upstream oil groove to the supply channel and an outflow hole connecting the most downstream oil groove to the return channel. Consequently, the oil grooves of all cylinders connected in series cause engine oil to flow through all the oil grooves at the same rate. Such an arrangement is simple in structure and has reduced the number of components so that the manufacturing cost is reduced and the reliability of the cooling system is enhanced. |
