An engine with an EGR device comprising:
- an engine case;
- and
- an EGR pipe that introduces an EGR gas into an intake path, the EGR pipe being arranged to pass through an inside of the engine case,
- wherein
- a part of the EGR pipe in the engine case is arranged to face a cooling water path in the engine case,
- a case end portion formed by an end portion of the engine case is partially expanded to an outer side,
- the EGR pipe is arranged in an expanded portion of the case end portion expanded toward the outer side,
- the cooling water path includes a lower water path located at a lower portion of the engine case and an outer peripheral water path formed at an outer periphery of the EGR pipe at an expanded side,
- the engine case is provided with a guide portion, which guides cooling water, in a portion of the EGR pipe at an outer side in a radial direction, in the cooling water path, and
- the guide portion includes a guide body protruded into the lower water path at a lower portion of the EGR pipe, and a circumferential guide portion protruded into a half of the outer peripheral water path so as to surround a half of the EGR pipe.
