Description
- This invention relates to a cooling structure for an engine, and more particularly to a cooling structure for a water-cooling type engine.
- A conventional water-cooling type engine includes a cylinder with a first water passage, a cylinder head with a second water passage, and a sealing gasket disposed between the cylinder and the cylinder head. The first and second water passages extend in a circumferential direction so as to constitute a water jacket. The sealing gasket has an outer peripheral portion that is formed with a plurality of holes, through which cooling water can flow from the first water passage in the cylinder to the second water passage in the cylinder head. As such, the cooling water flows from a water inlet of the first water passage in the cylinder to a water outlet of the second water passage in the cylinder head through the holes in the sealing gasket. Because the holes in the sealing gasket are spaced apart from each of the water inlet of the first water passage and the water outlet of the second water passage at different distances, the cooling water flows from the water inlet of the first water passage into the water outlet of the second water passage via a plurality of paths that have different lengths, thereby resulting in relatively uneven cooling in the engine, which can lead to quick deformation of the engine.
- The object of this invention is to provide a water-cooling type engine that is formed with a single cooling-water path in a cylinder and a cylinder head so that the cooling of the engine is relatively uniform.
- According to this invention, a water-cooling type engine includes a cylinder, a cylinder head, and a sealing gasket disposed between the cylinder and the cylinder head. A water passage arrangement is provided so as to permit cooling water to flow from a water inlet in the cylinder to a water outlet in the cylinder or the cylinder head along a single flowing path. As such, the cooling of the engine is relatively uniform.
