Abstract
In the case of a multi-cylinder reciprocating engine in a V-construction, the crankshaft drives the camshafts and an output shaft to the clutch in a center plane of the engine by means of gear drives. The crankshaft, also by means of gear drives, drives two identically designed pump units comprising a water pump and oil pumps which are mounted on the outside on the crankcase, symmetrically to the center plane of the engine.
