The fuel injection nozzle (2) has a leading end opposed to a cylinder mid portion (4) and the glow plug (3) extends through an intake port wall portion (6) between the fuel injection nozzle (2) and an intake port (5). The glow plug (3) is inclined with respect to the fuel injection nozzle (2) by a predetermined angle (&thgr;1) and has a leading end inserted into the cylinder mid portion (4).

Abstract: A cylinder block for multi-cylinder engine includes a cooling water passage provided at a head-side portion of a cast metal inter-bore wall. The cooling water passage includes a plurality of vertically adjoining transverse water passages provided in vertical and multiple stages. A connecting wall portion of the cooling water passage includes at least one cast metal connecting wall connecting a front wall portion of the inter-bore wall to a rear half wall portion thereby separating the vertically adjoining transverse water passages from each other. The cooling water passage has its cast metal wall surface which faces a water passage spaced exposed in its entirety as a molded surface.

Abstract: A process of molding a cylinder block of a multi-cylinder engine comprises making a jacket core (30) so as to form cylinder jackets (8) of the multi-cylinder engine (E), attaching the jacket core (30) to a cylinder block forming mold (28), and pouring molten metal into the cylinder block forming mold (28). The process makes a water passage forming core (31) of sphered particle sand having a lower expansion coefficient than the common silica sand. The core (31) is intended for forming at a head side portion of an inter-bore wall (4) of the multi-cylinder engine (E), a cooling water passage (10) which communicates the cylinder jackets (8) with a head jacket (22). And prior to pouring the molten metal, the process fixedly attaches the water passage forming core (31) to a position corresponding to the inter-bore wall (4) of the jacket core (30).

Abstract: A fuel supplying device for an engine comprises an electronic governor (1) and a mechanical governor (2). In this device, the mechanical governor (2) limits a maximum fuel injection amount of an electronic control by the electronic governor (1).

Abstract: A fuel injection device for a diesel engine adapted to perform a preliminary injection (1) and a main injection (2) to a combustion chamber (3), wherein the preliminary injection (1) is adjusted to begin within a valve overlap term (40).Within the valve overlap term (40), no intake air is introduced into the combustion chamber (3) or a little if any and the combustion chamber (3) contains a gas of high temperature. If the preliminary injection (1) is conducted into this gas of high temperature within the combustion chamber (3), a preliminary injection fuel vaporizes soon to thereby shorten the ignition lag of a main injection fuel with the result of improving the combustion.

Abstract: A water passage forming member (10) embedded in a connection wall (4) between adjacent bores (3a) (3a) of a multi-cylinder (2) by a casting process is provided with a pair of left and right vertical jacket communication passages (12)(12) for making cylinder jackets (8)(8) within a cylinder block (1) communicate with a head jacket (22), cooling water passages (15) arranged vertically and in multiple stage for making the paired jacket communication passages (12)(12) communicate with each other, and non-hollow portions (11) arranged in multiple stage and alternately with the cooling water passages (15).

Abstract: In a pressure accumulation type of fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine, including a fuel injector which is adapted to temporarily store each incoming charge of highly pressurized fuel and inject the fuel under high pressure, a nozzle valve is provided within the pressure accumulation chamber defined in the fuel injector body. The upper end portion of the nozzle valve stem extends hermetically and slidably through a bore formed in the fuel injector body. Furthermore, a cylindrical check valve is provided so as to encircle the valve stem and is adapted to be biased towards an underside of an annular projection formed on the valve stem by a check valve spring mounted on the valve stem to close the check valve. The spring force for closing the check valve which controls the opening and the closing of the inlet portion of the pressure accumulation chamber is reduced and the pressure of the fuel stored in the pressure accumulation chamber can be increased greatly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an accumulator fuel injector for a diesel engine, the device including first and second accumulators which are connected through a check valve and a relief valve. Fuel pressurized and delivered by a fuel injection pump is charged into the first accumulator so as to increase its pressure abruptly. When the fuel pressure in the first accumulator reaches a selected relief pressure, the fuel is charged into the second accumulator through the check valve and is accumulated therein. When fuel injection is started by opening of an injection valve, the fuel accumulated in the first accumulator is injected through the injection valve and at the same time the fuel accumulated in the second accumulator flows out to the first accumulator through the relief valve so as to also be injected through the injection valve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an intake system with double intake ports for internal combustion engine, involving two intake ports for each cylinder chamber of the engine, one of the two intake ports being a pure helical port which introduces suction air with helical flow, but without straightway flow, into the cylinder chamber, and another intake port being partially helical port which introduces suction air with helical flow and straightway flow into the cylinder chamber, the outlets of the two intake ports being preferably located in nearer side of the center of the cylinder chamber, and side by side in a parallel direction with the axis of cam shaft; and preferably the pure helical intake port being suspended in lower speed range by pausing device having pause valve which is preferably consisted of suction valve; and the length of suction passage being preferably varied in accordance with the variation of speed ranges.

Abstract: A balancing device comprising three or more rotating balancers mounted within a housing is detachably mounted on a reciprocating, internal combustion engine. The balancing device generates a balancing force F.sub.b chosen to cancel the vibrating force F.sub.r produced by the engine. The vibrating force F.sub.r lies on a vibration line S, and the balancing force F.sub.b is spaced a distance l therefrom, whereby a rotating moment M is generated. The balancing device also generates a balancing moment -M, chosen to cancel the rotating moment M.
