摘要： A multi-cylinder reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, preferably operating on the two-stroke cycle, having a cylinder block (8) incorporating a bank of cylinders (10) each communicating with a crankcase (15). Each cylinder (10) having inlet ports (21, 29) located on each of the two opposite sides of the bank of cylinders (10), and a conduit (17) communicating at least one port (21) on one side of the bank with at least one port (29) on the opposite side of the bank. That conduit (17) extends through a crankshaft bearing support portion (14a) of the cylinder block (8) located within said crankcase (15) below the level of the cylinders (10).
