Abstract
An engine includes a cylinder head, a wire assembly including multiple wire harnesses and a protector that holds the wire harnesses together, a sound absorber, and an engine cover. The engine cover is attached to the cylinder head in a state in which the wire assembly and the sound absorber are held between the cylinder head and the engine cover to elastically deform the sound absorber. The protector is held in a state of being pressed against the cylinder head by a restoring force of the sound absorber. The sound absorber includes a contact region pressed against the protector. The sound absorber includes an engagement portion located at an edge of the contact region. The engagement portion is thicker than the thickness of the contact region. The engagement portion is adjacent to a side surface of the protector.
