In the above-mentioned conventional example, since the cooling water passage 115 is flat and vertically long, in machining the cylinder bore 3a, insufficient strength occurs at the corresponding portion of the cooling water passage 115, and eventually the local portion of the cylinder bore 3a. Distortion may occur. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the continuous wall portion 4 to some extent. That is, since the wall thickness of the continuous wall portion 4 cannot be made sufficiently thin, there is a problem in narrowing the interval between the cylinder bores 3a or increasing the displacement to increase the output of the engine.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the cooling water introducing port 113 is formed by notching the lower portion of the cylindrical body forming each jacket communication passage 112, but the cooling water introducing port 113 is formed.
Since the frontage is small, a large amount of cooling water cannot be smoothly introduced into the cooling water passage 115. That is, there is a drawback that the head-side portion 4a of the continuous wall portion 4 cannot be cooled strongly. As described above, if the head-side portion 4a of the continuous wall portion 4 cannot be strongly cooled and the heat radiation ability is low, it is impossible to increase the output of the engine from the viewpoint of suppressing the heat load.

That is, although the piston ring is cooled through the cylinder wall, if the heat radiating ability of the head-side portion 4a is low, the top ring is particularly fixed from the top surface of the piston from the viewpoint of preventing seizure of the piston ring. There is no choice but to install them separated by a distance. This means that a ring-shaped dead space that does not contribute to combustion occurs on the outer circumference of the piston top. For this reason, it is not possible to improve the air utilization rate, which in turn cannot increase the output of the engine.

That is, since the piston ring can be strongly cooled through the cylinder wall by strongly cooling the head side portion 4a, the top ring can be brought as close as possible to the piston top surface to burn the outer periphery of the piston top. The ring-shaped dead space that does not contribute can be minimized to improve the air utilization rate. Further, along with this, the sticking of the top ring due to the carbonization of the unburned portion of the fuel can be eliminated.

Moreover, the position of the piston pin is moved as close as possible to the piston top surface as the top ring is moved as close as possible to the piston top surface, and the swinging dimension of the crankshaft is lengthened accordingly. The connecting rod engine can be made relatively small without changing its height and the piston stroke can be increased to increase the displacement. Further, since the head side portion 4a can be strongly cooled, it is possible to increase the exhaust amount by increasing the diameter of the cylinder bore. Further, by applying the present invention to a multi-cylinder engine equipped with a turbocharger, it is possible to achieve relative miniaturization and increase in engine output. On the contrary, when the piston stroke is not changed, the connecting rod can be set longer as much as the position of the piston pin is closer to the top surface of the piston, so that the piston side pressure can be reduced and, as a result, the friction loss can be reduced.

No. 7 is cast between the other cylinder 3 and the cylinder head fastening boss 5 while being offset toward the one and the other cylinders 3 and 3, respectively. That is, since the interval between the left and right cylinder head fastening bolts 6 is constant, if the joint portion 17 is overlapped on the outside of the left and right jacket communication passages 12 as in the conventional example, the jacket communication passage 12 is substantially formed. The passage cross section is narrowed. Therefore, as described above, the outer edge joints 17, 17 are respectively connected to the cylinders 3
