Abstract
On the upper portion of a cylinder head 1 of an engine mounted on a vehicle body in such a way that a crankshaft faces in the lateral direction of the body, a head cover 36 is supported in a floating state through an elastic member 14 and a rubber bush 52. A pair of TDC sensors 37i and 37e for detecting the rotational positions of engine camshafts 6i and 6e, are attached from the outside to the front surface and to the rear portion of the upper surface of the head cover 36 with bolts 38 respectively in such a way as not to interfere with a bonnet 39 of the body descending forward. Consequently, while ensuring the maintainability of the TDC sensors 37i and 37e of the engine, the TDC sensors 37i and 37e can compactly be attached to the engine.
