Abstract

First and second attachment portions 6, 8 are formed integrally with a main body 4 and extend along the longitudinal direction of the main body 4. A hydraulic oil supply portion 14 is formed integrally with the main body 4 and extends along the width, or in the direction perpendicular to the axes of the attachment portions 6, 8. In this manner, providing an internal combustion engine with variable valve actuation mechanisms increases the strength of the cylinder head cover 102, while reducing the weight thereof.
