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.

Method and device for mounting cam angle sensor for internal combustion engine

An air intake device of an internal combustion engine which is capable of enhancing the air intake efficiency and reducing the size is provided. The internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head, an intake manifold provided at a longitudinal side surface of the cylinder head, and a head cover provided on the cylinder head. The air intake device of the internal combustion engine includes an air cleaner including an upper casing and a lower casing detachably coupled to each other and incorporating a filter element, an atmospheric air introduction pipe for introducing air to the air cleaner, and an intake pipe extending from the air cleaner to the intake manifold.
