  • Patent number: 5803034
    Abstract: A cylinder head cover for a direct-injecting internal-combustion engine has an injection nozzle holder arranged in the cylinder head between charge cycle valves and a clamping shoe for fixing the position of the injection nozzle holder in a receiving bore in the cylinder head. The cylinder head cover is constructed to be pulled in in the area of the injection nozzle holder and has a passage for the injection nozzle holder. The pulled-in cylinder head cover in the area of the injection nozzle holder is pulled down to the cylinder head. Starting from that area, a drainage-groove-type indentation leads to the inlet side of the internal-combustion engine.
