Abstract

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine having an engine block comprising a crankshaft which is mounted on the engine block by at least a first and a second main bearings (14), wherein said main bearings comprise each a first bearing portion and a second bearing portion, said second bearing portion (18) being part of a bearing cap (20), characterized in that at least the first bearing cap (20) is connected to the engine block or to the second bearing cap by at least one dampening structure (36, 60, 62 66), said structure comprising a first support portion (38) fixed on said bearing cap (20), a second support portion (40) fixed on said engine block or on an adjacent bearing cap, and a dampening portion (58) comprising an elastomeric material which connects the two support portions.
