    摘要: A bearing cap according to one embodiment of this disclosure includes: a concave part that supports a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine; first bosses that are disposed one on each side of the concave part and each have a first bolt hole; and second bosses that are disposed one on each side of a bearing cap main body having the concave part and the first bosses so as to flank the bearing cap main body and each have a second bolt hole. The bearing cap is fixed to a first member of the internal combustion engine by first bolts inserted into the first bolt holes, and to a second member of the internal combustion engine by second bolts inserted into the second bolt holes. At least the pair of second bosses have higher rigidity than a frame.

    摘要: An engine includes a cylinder block including a first jacket through which a coolant flows, a spacer disposed within the first jacket, a cylinder head including a second jacket through which the coolant flows from the first jacket; and a gasket interposed between the cylinder block and the cylinder head. The cylinder block includes a branch passage branched off from the first jacket to supply the coolant to an external device. The gasket includes communication ports that communicate the first jacket with the second jacket. The spacer includes a protruding portion that penetrates one of the communication ports that is closest to the branch passage. There is a clearance between the protruding portion and the one of the communication ports.
