Abstract

An internal combustion engine is provided which comprises an outside member including a cylinder block section and a crankcase half section which are both casted into a single body, the crankcase having an opening formed therein which has an opening edge arranged in an inclined relationship to the center axis of a cylinder and also to the center axis of a crankshaft, and a crankcase half having a corresponding opening edge thereon for covering the opening of the crankcase half section. The inclined opening of the crankcase half section facilitates working of the inside of the crankcase half section and the cylinder block section and assembling of internal parts within the outside member.
