Abstract: A rubber gasket of annular shape adapted to be interposed between two objective members to be sealed and fastened to each other and a seal structure for sealing between two objective members to be sealed and fastened to each other using the gasket. The rubber gasket comprises an integrally molded body made of elastomer having a cylindrical body, a flange-shaped portion, and an annular core member, the flange-shaped portion extending outward from one end of the cylindrical body in axial direction along an entire outer circumferential surface, the annular core member being embedded in the flange-shaped portion along an entire circumference.

Abstract: A sealed type engine cooling system having a reservoir tank connected to the engine recirculating water passageway by inlet pipes connected to the upper outlet of an engine cooling water passageway and to the upper inlet of a radiator. The bottom portion of the reservoir tank is connected to the bottom of the engine cooling water passageway, for supplementing the engine cooling water, and is provided with a cap with a relief valve, to thereby discharge vapor created in the cooling water passageway under a hot soak condition. The relationship between the inner diameter of the pipes is such that the effective cross sectional area of the inlet pipe means is 1.

Abstract: An arrangement and structure for an oil pan system to permit mounting a vertical in-line engine in a vehicle in a horizontal or nearly horizontal attitude includes a cylinder block of the engine having an opening on the side wall thereof, a cover attached to the cylinder block where an ordinary oil pan is usually mounted, an adapter plate fastened to the lower side wall of the cylinder block and bottom of the cover, and an oil pan attached to the lower surface of the adapter plate. The adapter plate allows the oil pan to extend and always remain below the cylinder block, so that the return paths from the lubricated portions of the engine to the oil pan are shortened.
