ABSTRACT:
A flexible oil pan assembly of a flexible internal combustion engine has a plurality of spaced apart flexible baffles disposed between and connected to a first surface of first and second spaced apart side walls and a plurality of stiffening ribs connected to a second surface of the first and second side walls at preselected spaced locations. The combination of the baffles and stiffening ribs facilitates controlled deflection of the first and second side walls and reduces the potential for cracking of the first and second side walls.
