Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure of a thermal shield for an oil pump which makes it possible to securely mount the thermal shield at one point with high reliability and at a low cost. To achieve this object, a thermal shield for preventing radiant heat from an exhaust pipe from being transmitted to an oil pump is securely clamped to a support plate portion of a bracket which is disposed contiguous to the thermal shield. The thermal shield and the bracket are provided with an engaging protrusion portion and a positioning hole respectively. The thermal shield and the bracket are positioned through engagement of the engaging protrusion portion with the positioning hole.
