Abstract
An internal combustion engine, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes a cylinder head and fuel injection valves. The cylinder head has seats for the fuel injection valves. Alignment devices on the seats and on the fuel injection valves interact with one another such that, when a fuel injection valve is accommodated in a seat, the fuel injection valve is aligned in the seat with respect to a rotation about a longitudinal axis of the fuel injection valve.
