Abstract

According to the present invention, a variable compression ratio machine having main bearings mounted in an eccentric carrier or support includes an oil seal located primarily in a main bearing cap for minimizing leakage of pressurized main bearing oil. The seal is located generally in a first main bearing fastener socket or fastener access cutout in order to minimize structurally compromising the bearing cap, and a portion of the fastener socket preferably is used as an oil passageway as well as for wrench access to the fastener. The oil seal and oil circuit of the present invention enable the size of the eccentric support to be minimized while also providing highly effective oil sealing. In more detail, a significant advantage of the present invention is that highly effective oil sealing is attained without compromising the size or structural integrity of the bearing cap. A second significant advantage of the present invention is that it can be manufactured and assembled at low cost. The oil sealing system of the present invention is robust and highly reliable.
