Abstract
An oil pump mounting system for an internal combustion engine of the type in which the oil pump is disposed in a pump housing formed integrally with an oil pan and feeds an oil into an oil passage extended through the output shaft of the engine. The oil pump mounting system comprises a driving shaft of the oil pump supported at both ends by the output shaft of the engine and a bearing portion formed in the oil pan, and an oil suction port formed through one side of the pump housing communicated with the surface of the oil pump on the side of the bearing portion. Thus ensuring operation even when the engine is inclined.
