A flexibly-jointed, fluid-tight cover for enclosing a portion of an internal combustion engine includes generally rigid structural cover panels which are joined by fluid-tight flexible joints formed from elastomeric material which is either inserted into the rigid structural cover panels after the joint has been molded, or molded in place by inserting the cover parts within a mold and injecting material into the mold to form the flexible fluid-tight joints.

An internal combustion engine includes a coolant pump having an axially directed rotary pumping element which is functionally housed between upstream and downstream stators which function to straighten the flow and recover fluid velocity, both before and after work has been performed on the fluid by the rotary pumping element.
