Claims
- 1. A crankcase (1) for a combustion engine with cylinders arranged in V formation that is divided into two parts (2, 3) along the plane of separation (4) going through the axis of the crankshaft (6), such halves connected with each other by means of bearing screws (9) at right angles to the plane of separation (4) on either side of the crankshaft bearing (7), and by means of cylindrical adapters (12), which lock into fitting drill holes (13) provided between the two case halves (2, 3), characterised by the fact that the adapters (12) running parallel to the axis of the crankshaft (6) lie in the plane of separation (4) and each are penetrated by one bearing screw (9).
- 2. A crankcase according to claim 1, characterised by the fact that where two bearing screws (9) are located on each side of the crankshaft bearings (7), the outer bearing screws (9) penetrate the adapters (12).
- 3. A crankcase according to claim 2, characterised by the fact that the bearing screws (9) penetrating the adapters (12) are shorter that the other bearing screws (9).
- 4. A crankcase (1) for a combustion engine with cylinders arranged in V formation that is divided into two parts (2, 3) along the plane of separation (4) going through the axis of the crankshaft (6), such halves connected with each other by at least two bearing screws (9) at right angles to the plane of separation (4) on each side of the crankshaft bearing (7), and by means of cylindrical adapters (12), which lock into fitting drill holes (13) provided between the two case halves (2, 3), characterised by the fact that the adapters (12) running parallel to the axis of the crankshaft (6) lie in the plane of separation (4) and are positioned between any two bearing screws (9) on either side of the crankshaft bearing (7).
- 5. A crankcase according to claim 4, characterised by the fact that the bearing screws (9) are substantially the same length.
