Abstract
A component fitting structure includes a component fitting hole ( ) formed across mated faces between a cylinder head ( ) and chain cover ( ), and a collar ( ) fitted in the component fitting hole through a liquid gasket, a tensioner unit being engaged with the collar. Because the component fitting portion extends across the mated faces the members themselves can be made smaller in size. Further, since the collar can be attached in advance to one of these members before they are mated together, the fitting portion of the component can be easily observed visually. Further, the component can be removed without separating the two members from each other.
