Abstract
A case that houses a chain includes a first cover member fixed to a cylinder block and a cylinder head, and a second cover member arranged on the opposite side of the cylinder block and the cylinder head from the first cover member. In an intermediate part, which is a part of a confronting wall of the first cover member between the first flange and the second flange, a cover-side rib is provided, having a height so that a distal end of the cover-side rib is not in contact with the cylinder block.
