ABSTRACT:
A V-type engine is constructed so that one bank of cylinders is located rearward, in a longitudinal direction of the engine, relative to the other bank of cylinders so that a space is formed in front of a front surface of a cylinder block of the engine. In the space, a casing or casings for a fluid passage are provided. Supplemental apparatuses, such as a water pump, an alternator, a compressor, and an oil pump, are formed so as to be driven by belts transmitting drive power from a crankshaft of the V-type engine. One of the belts has tension applied to it by a tensioner, which is formed on a bracket. The bracket is fixed to the casing or casings by bolts, which are used for both fixing the casing or casings to the cylinder block and for fixing the bracket to the casing or casings. As a result, both of the bracket and the casing or casings are firmly fixed to the cylinder block within a compact space, even when the tensioner is located far from the front surface of the cylinder block.
