ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine having an oil-retaining cylinder block and crankcase (10), a cylinder head (11), a cylinder liner (12) defining the cylinder (13) in which a piston (14) reciprocates, and a crankshaft (15) on which the piston is mounted via a connecting rod (16). The flywheel (17) is mounted on the crankshaft (15) and extends upwardly alongside the base of the cylinder liner (12) whereby the maximum radius of the flywheel is greater than the minimum distance between the rotational axis of the crankshaft and the lowermost position occupied by the base of the piston at bottom dead centre position. Thus there is provided an offset flywheel of low mass but providing a substantial moment of inertia while the overall height of the engine is be reduced without loss of horsepower.
