ABSTRACT:
A cooling system for an engine having a plurality of cylinder bores which are arranged along a longitudinal axis. First and second coolant passages continuously extend along the periphery of the bores on each side of the axis, extending from the bore arranged in one end of the engine to the bore arranged in another end of the engine. The first and the second passages are connected to each other by a connector at one end of the engine. Intermediate walls are formed between adjacent bores. A connecting passage is formed in each intermediate wall for connecting the first and the second coolant passages. Water as a coolant flows from an inlet, which is formed at the other end of the first coolant passage, through, in turn, the first coolant passage, the connector, and the second coolant passage, and flows out from an outlet, which is formed at the other end of the second coolant passage. Water also flows through the connecting passages.
