Abstract
A valve cover of a internal combustion engine is fixed on the cylinder head by a plurality of screwed joints, preferably with a circumferential gasket inserted in between. At least some of the screwed joints are provided and/or coupled in such a way with a resiliently and/or elastically flexible element () on a cold side () of the cylinder head (), which faces away from the at least one exhaust port in the cylinder head () and hence faces a cold side of the engine, that the valve cover () lifts off from the cylinder head () in a defined area of the cover only in the area of said cold side () when there is a defined excess pressure in the crankcase.
