The lower engine base is made of die-cast aluminium alloy, with cast iron main caps.
The main bearing and cap finishing operations are carried out by joining with the upper engine
base.
Joining with the upper base is carried out by means of screws and dowel bolts that ensure
assembling accuracy.
A bead of sealant is put between the two engine bases, to avoid engine oil leaks.
The figure below illustrates the upper engine base (1) and the lower base (2).
