Abstract

A lubricating arrangement attached end face at the engine housing of a reciprocating piston engine is surrounded by an oil pump housing which is composed of two housing parts cast of magnesium. The oil pumps are preassemblable in the oil pump housing. The couplings of the oil pumps and the lubricating connections are so constructed that the oil pump housing is easily assemblable at the engine housing as a structural unit.
