Abstract: A compact V-type engine arrangement wherein an odd number of cylinders are formed in opposite cylinder banks of differing lengths with the shorter bank having one less cylinder than the longer bank. A space adjacent the end of the shorter cylinder bank and generally opposite one of the cylinders of the longer bank is utilized to mount an engine driven mechanism, such as a diesel fuel injection pump, which is preferably connected to the individual cylinders for coaction therewith in timed relationship with the engine cycle. Novel compact means for driving the engine fuel injection pump or other mechanism, as well as other mechanical features, are also provided.

Abstract: An engine oil cooling and filtering arrangement with a valve controlled bypass for the cooler and another valve controlled bypass for the filter.

Abstract: A V-type automotive diesel engine having a high pressure fuel injection pump mounted between the cylinder heads and intake manifolds and above a tappet gallery cover that is integral with the intake manifolds. The pump is supported on the cylinder block by an extension through the gallery cover and the pump drive angles downwardly through the support to a compact bevel drive gear connection with the engine camshaft. The manifold and cover member includes a water crossover connection between the cylinder heads, and the intake manifolds in the cover are interconnected by a distribution fitting that extends over the injection pump and supports an air cleaner. The arrangement provides a compact engine construction capable of being interchanged in a vehicle with gasoline engines of similar general arrangement and piston displacement.
