Abstract: A multi-cylinder engine includes an engine body having first and second cylinder groups, first and second exhaust passage groups each having a plurality of independent exhaust passage parts and a collective exhaust passage part, and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) passage. In a plan view in cylinder axis directions, the passage groups are disposed adjacent to each other, and, in the first exhaust passage group, a first independent exhaust part of the plurality of independent exhaust passage parts is connected to the EGR passage and a second independent exhaust passage part is connected to the collective exhaust passage part so as to be directed to a connection of the first independent exhaust passage part to the collective exhaust passage part, and in the second exhaust passage group, an opening of the collective exhaust passage part is offset toward the first exhaust passage group in a lineup direction.

Abstract: A multi-cylinder engine having an engine body with a cylinder head, and mounted on a vehicle is provided. The engine includes first and second cylinder groups each provided to the engine body and comprised of first and second pluralities of cylinders, first and second exhaust passage groups each having first and second pluralities of independent exhaust passage parts provided to the cylinder head and connected to the first and second cylinder groups, respectively, and first and second collective exhaust passage parts provided to the cylinder head and collecting the first and second pluralities of independent passage parts downstream in an exhaust gas flow direction, and a cooling medium passage provided in the cylinder head, through which a cooling medium flows, and having an intermediate passage part provided between the first collective exhaust passage part and the second collective exhaust passage part.

Abstract: An intake-side space around intake ports and an exhaust-side lower space around exhaust ports are provided in a main cooling jacket portion. These spaces are connected to each other. In a sub cooling jacket portion, an exhaust-side upper space is provided at a level above the exhaust-side lower space. The main cooling jacket portion and the sub cooling jacket portion are connected to each other via a cylindrical-hole connecting passage extending vertically and separate from each other vertically via a wall portion in another area than the connecting passage. Accordingly, a cooling device of an engine which can restrain the exhaust gas from being cooled too much improperly is provided.
