Abstract
A component fitting structure includes a component fitting hole (25) formed across mated faces between a cylinder head (4) and chain cover (24), and a collar (26) fitted in the component fitting hole through a liquid gasket, a tensioner unit 21a being engaged with the collar. Because the component fitting portion extends across the mated faces the members themselves can be made smaller in size. Further, since the collar can be attached in advance to one of these members before they are mated together, the fitting portion of the component can be easily observed visually. Further, the component can be removed without separating the two members from each other.
Claims19
A component fitting structure which comprises:
- a first member and a second member mated with said first member which define a component fitting hole which is formed across mated faces therebetween;
- a collar fitted in said component fitting hole through a liquid gasket;
- and
- a component fittingly engaged with said collar, wherein;
- said first member comprises at least one of a cylinder head and a cylinder block,
- said second member comprises at least one of a chain cover and a belt cover, and
- said component comprises a tensioner unit.
A component fitting structure which comprises:
- a first member and a second member mated with said first member which define a component fitting hole which is formed across mated faces therebetween;
- a collar fitted in said component fitting hole through a liquid gasket;
- and
- a component fittingly engaged with said collar,
- wherein said component fitting hole comprises a semicircular recess formed in said first member and a semicircular recess formed in said second member, and said component is fittingly engaged with an inner peripheral face of said collar through an O-ring.
A component fitting structure which comprises:
- a first member and a second member mated with said first member which define a component fitting hole which is formed across mated faces therebetween;
- a collar fitted in said component fitting hole through a liquid gasket;
- and
- a component fittingly engaged with said collar, wherein;
- said collar is provided with a locating pin at a position of an outer peripheral face thereof, said locating pin being fitted in a corresponding hole formed in said first member.
A component fitting structure which comprises:
- a first member and a second member mated with said first member which define a component fitting hole which is formed across mated faces therebetween;
- a collar fitted in said component fitting hole through a liquid gasket;
- and
- a component fittingly engaged with said collar, wherein;
- said mated faces are displaced from a plane passing a center of said component toward either of said first member and said second member.
