Abstract
A cover structure for an internal combustion engine covers and protects a coolant pipe of a cooling system component on an internal combustion engine, even when the internal combustion engine only has a short distance provided between a crankshaft and an output shaft. The cover structure includes an outer cover disposed outside an inner cover, thereby defining a space between the first and outer covers. Coolant conduits, which are in fluid communication with a cooling system component, are constructed and arranged to pass through the space between the first and outer covers.
