  • Method and device for mounting cam angle sensor for internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 9068528
    Abstract: In an internal combustion engine in which a head cover for covering a cam shaft at an upper face of a cylinder head is made of a synthetic resin, a cam angle sensor for the cam shaft is securely attached to the cylinder head such that heat damage to the cam angle sensor is suppressed. The cam angle sensor is inserted in a through-hole perforated through the head cover, and a mounting portion integral with the cam angle sensor is fastened to a member of the cylinder head, with fixing members penetrating through the head cover on a side of the cam angle sensor.
