Abstract (en)

A simple structure and method applicable to the assembling of a cylinder block (1) and a crankcase (2) of an engine, particularly to the positioning of rear end surfaces of the cylinder block and crankcase without using dowels that would raise the assembling cost. Positioning members (7) are provided on a rear end surface (6) of at least one of the cylinder block (1) and crankcase (2). The cylinder block and the crankcase are joined with each other with a rear end surface (5) of the other being in contact with the positioning members (7). The positioning members (7) enable the two rear end surfaces (5,6) to be coplanar relative to each other, and therefore the dowels may be dispensed with or precise machining and dimensions are not required to the dowels. As a result, the assembling cost reduction is attained. <IMAGE>
