  • Publication number: 20240141817
    Abstract: In a fastening structure that fastens an exhaust manifold to a cylinder head of an engine, a bolt that extends through a flange is inserted into and fixed to a bolt hole of the cylinder head. The flange includes a contact surface that contacts a coupling surface of the cylinder head, and an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the contact surface. A clearance is provided between the bolt and the cylinder head inside the bolt hole in a range extending from the coupling surface of the cylinder head to a specified length.

  • Publication number: 20240141851
    Abstract: An engine includes a cylinder block including a first jacket through which a coolant flows, a spacer disposed within the first jacket, a cylinder head including a second jacket through which the coolant flows from the first jacket; and a gasket interposed between the cylinder block and the cylinder head. The cylinder block includes a branch passage branched off from the first jacket to supply the coolant to an external device. The gasket includes communication ports that communicate the first jacket with the second jacket. The spacer includes a protruding portion that penetrates one of the communication ports that is closest to the branch passage. There is a clearance between the protruding portion and the one of the communication ports.
