Abstract:
A crankshaft bearing support structure includes a cylinder block having a first holding portion; a first plain bearing held by the first holding portion of the cylinder block; a crank cap fastened to the cylinder block, the crank cap having a second holding portion; a second plain bearing held by the second holding portion of the crank cap; and a crankshaft having an axis of rotation, the crankshaft being rotatably held by the first plain bearing and the second plain bearing and configured to receive an explosive load from a piston via a connecting rod. The crankshaft flexes, when subjected to the explosive load, in a direction of the explosive load. The crank cap in provided with a mechanism which causes the second holding portion to flex in a manner that a bearing holding surface of the second holding portion follows flexure of the crankshaft subjected to the explosive load.

Claim (Index 4):
The crankshaft bearing support structure according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the mechanism includes one of a groove and a through-hole provided in the second holding portion, the one of the groove and the through-hole being formed in an arcuate shape along an arcuate surface of the second holding portion which holds the second plain bearing, the one of the groove and the through-hole having a depth in the axial direction of the crankshaft.
