block pad machined into the parent metal of a cylinder block or a separate pad such as that illustrated at 100 in fig6 mounting pad 100 is intended to be attached to an engine by bolting or welding or by some other suitable process utility pedestal 18 has a mounting pad 48 at its lower extremity mounting pad 48 includes mounting bosses 50 which have fastener bores 52 fastener bores 52 extend through mounting bosses 50 and make an acute angle u03b1 with a horizontal plane h fig1 fastener bores 52 allow the passage of a number of threaded fasteners 56 which pass through fastener bores 52 and into threaded bores 28 formed in generally planar mounting pad 22 of cylinder block 30 two of threaded bores 28 are shown in fig1 fig1 further shows that mounting bosses 50 are angled so that threaded fasteners or bolts 56 extend inboard into bolt holes 28 formed in mounting pad 22 of cylinder block 30 this geometry is also shown in fig2 in the event that a separate mounting pad is employed such as that illustrated at 100 in fig6 a number of fastener bores 108 will be provided in the same manner as bores 52 pad 100 also contains fluid passages 26 u2032 42 u2032 and 46 u2032 which perform the functions ascribed below to passages 26 42 and 46 respectively pad 100 may be fastened to an engine by means of threaded fasteners extending through bores 104 or as noted above by welding brazing or other known methods as seen in fig2 the width a of utility pedestal mounting pad 48 is less.
