Abstract
A plug-in pump is provided for an internal combustion engine having a receiving bore in the cylinder block to accommodate the plug-in pump. The plug-in pump includes a pump plunger and a spring-loaded roller tappet driven by a cam of a camshaft. The longitudinal axis of the plug-in pump lies transversely in relation to the camshaft axis and at a distance from it, so that the longitudinal axis of the plug-in pump, seen in the direction of turn of the camshaft, lies in front of the camshaft axis.
