The main passage is formed along the periphery of a cylinder bank, and extends between a plurality of head bolt bosses and the cylinder bank. The sub-passage is formed at a position spaced from the cylinder bank farther than the main passage, to diverge from the main passage at a first position, and join the main passage at a second position downstream of the first position. A first head bolt boss by which coolant flowing from a coolant inlet initially passes is interposed between the main passage and the sub-passage. The first position is located between the first head bolt boss and the coolant inlet. The second position is located between a second head bolt boss by which the coolant passes next, and the first head bolt boss.

Abstract: A connecting rod of an example in the present disclosure is divided into a rod body and a cap at an oblique division at a large end, the rod body and the cap fastened by bolts. The connecting rod includes a joining plane and first and second restricting parts. The joining plane is a flat joining surface parallel to the division surface of the large end and is formed on at least one of two abutting portions on which the rod body and the cap join. The first and second restricting parts restrict lateral deviations of the rod body in first and second directions with respect to the cap, respectively. The first and second directions are opposite directions. Each of the first and second restricting parts restricts the lateral deviations by a single set of first or second opposing surface provided between the rod body and the cap.
