In this multi-cylinder engine, the common rail (10) is arranged immediately lateral of the intake-air distributing passage wall (2), thereby positioning the intake-air distributing passage wall (2) between the cylinder head (1) and the common rail (10). Preferably, an intake-air inlet pipe (11) is made to stand up at an upper portion of the intake-air distributing passage wall (2) and is provided with an intake-air flange portion (12), which is positioned just above the common rail (10).
