Abstract:
An engine includes a crank shaft inside a crankcase and an oil pan and penetrates the crankcase and the oil pan in an up-down direction. An oil pump and an oil strainer are provided inside the oil pan. The oil pump is coaxial with the crank shaft and is driven by the crank shaft. The crank shaft includes a first region and a second region respectively supported pivotably by a plate-shaped support and the crankcase. The support is provided in the crankcase such that both surfaces of the support are covered by the crankcase and the oil pan and allows communication between the crankcase and the oil pan.
