Abstract
A sealing device for a timing belt cover and an engine mount bracket comprises a rib formed on said engine mount bracket and a gasket having a lip of C-shaped section and a fixed portion continuous from said lip. The fixed portion of the gasket is attached to a portion of the timing belt cover surrounding an opening provided in said timing belt cover and said lip of C-shaped section of the gasket is contact with said rib of the engine mount bracket. Since the gasket is made of an elastic material other than sponge, e.g. rubber, it does not undergo a permanent deformation and causes no gap between said lip and said rib. Besides, since said lip of C-shaped section is easily deformed, there is no likelihood of an excessive load being applied to said timing belt cover.
