Abstract

See full text

A lubrication structure for an internal combustion engine includes an oil pump, a main gallery, an oil-supply passage, a sub gallery, and an oil-communication passage. The oil pump is installed in a crankcase configured by connecting an upper crankcase on a mating surface of a lower crankcase from above. The main gallery is provided in the lower crankcase for supplying oil from the oil pump to the engine. The oil-supply passage is provided in the lower crankcase and supplies oil from the main gallery to a mating-surface-oil passage of the mating surface. The sub gallery is provided in the upper crankcase for guiding oil to a piston jet that injects oil toward a piston of the engine. The oil-communication passage is provided across the lower and upper crankcases, branches from the oil-supply passage to communicate with the sub gallery, and guides oil in the oil-supply passage to the sub gallery.
