ABSTRACT:
A plurality of cylinders are defined in a single cylinder block, and a single cylinder head common to the cylinders is mounted on the cylinder block. Exhaust passages are provided in the cylinder head at a location corresponding to an inner side and central portion of a V-shape formed by the cylinders, the exhaust passages communicating with the cylinders, respectively. Intake passages are provided in the cylinder head at a location corresponding to opposite outside positions of the V-shape, the intake passages communicating with the cylinders, respectively. The intake passages open into a side of the cylinder head on opposite sides of the V-shape, and fuel injection nozzles provided in the intake passages, respectively. The exhaust passage extend parallel to a crankshaft within the cylinder head and open into the corresponding side of the cylinder head. A water jacket is defined around the exhaust passages to surround the exhaust passages.
