A cylinder head cover integrated with an active oil mist separator may include a cylinder head cover body, a booster, and an oil mist separator. The cylinder head cover body may be provided with an exhaust passage and a separation passage. The booster may be mounted outside the cylinder head cover body. The booster may have a booster intake port and a booster exhaust port. The booster intake port may be connected with the exhaust passage. The booster exhaust port may be connected with the separation passage. The oil mist separator may be mounted in the separation passage and the oil mist separator may be located on a downstream side of the booster.

A component comprises a mounting surface to male with another component, a seal channel extending into the mounting surface, and retention tabs extending into the seal channel at or below the mounting surface, wherein the retention tabs are spaced from each other about a perimeter of the seal channel. A method for manufacturing a component comprises producing a component with a seal channel in a flat mate face and mounds of material adjacent the seal channel that extend away from the flat mate face, and deforming the mounds of material to form retention tabs extending into the seal channel.

In an internal combustion engine that includes a cylinder block and a cylinder head, and has a cam chain chamber on a side of the cylinder block, a beam member that traverses the cam chain chamber is disposed in the cam chain chamber.

An air monitoring system measures tan amount of pollutant in the air. The system includes a plurality of air quality sensor devices arranged within a selected area. Each of the air quality sensor devices is configured to measure air pollutant levels in the selected area, and includes at least one sensor operatively coupled to a controller, wherein the controller is configured to receive a measured input from the at least one sensor. A wireless communication device is coupled to the controller, and is configured to communicate with a central server device.

A sensor support structure includes a connection portion positioned in the cylinder head cover of an internal combustion engine from an outer surface of the cylinder head cover to a position where the connection portion comes in contact with a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, an arm portion extending from an outer end side of the connection portion toward an outer side of the connection portion in a radial direction, a sensor support portion provided at an extending end of the arm portion, the sensor support portion being formed to protrude in a direction away from a side where the cylinder head is positioned, the sensor support portion supporting a sensor that detects a rotation of a camshaft of the internal combustion engine; and a restriction portion restricting a movement of the arm portion relative to the cylinder head cover in a circumferential direction about the connection portion.

Systems and methods are provided for a cylinder block having one or more bulkheads. The bulkheads provide a dual-wall structure that may enhance the stiffness of the cylinder block in bending and torsion. The bulkheads may also provide an oil drain to allow oil to directly drain through a hollow core of the bulkhead. An overflow outlet may be formed in an inner wall of a bulkhead. In some implementations, a cylinder block with bulkheads may increase an oil capacity of an engine.

A chain cover includes a first member, which is made of a hard plastic, and a second member, which is made of a material different from the hard plastic. The first member includes a back face, which faces an engine main body. The second member is joined to the first member. Only the back face of the first member includes a groove, which receives a seal member. The seal member provides a seal between the first member and the engine main body.

An engine is provided with a cylinder block and a ladderframe having a portion of an oil conduit and a deflector. The engine has a metal-to-metal seal positioned between the ladderframe and block to circumferentially surround the oil conduit, and has a gasket seal positioned between the ladderframe and block to be outboard and spaced apart from the oil conduit. The deflector is positioned between the metal-to-metal seal and the gasket seal. An engine component is provided with a member having a deflector and forming an oil conduit. The deflector has an arcuate deflector surface following an outer wall of the oil conduit to redirect oil escaping the oil conduit. A ladderframe is configured to provide a deflection surface, with the deflection surface positioned to guide high pressure oil away from adjacent RTV seals.

A structure for attaching an oil jet valve includes a bracket secured to an internal combustion engine with a seal member, an attachment concavity extending through the interior of the bracket, an insertion hole extending through the interior of the internal combustion engine, an oil jet valve, a first stepped part formed in the oil jet valve, a second stepped part formed in the attachment concavity, and an interlocking member. The width of a wide part of the first stepped part is less than the width of a narrow part of the second stepped part. The width of the wide part of the first stepped part is less than the width of a portion, of the inner surface of the attachment concavity, that faces the wide part of the first stepped part.

An internal combustion engine for a motorcycle includes a rear cylinder head, the rear cylinder head being provided with a camshaft, an exhaust rocker arm rocked by the camshaft, an engine valve closed/opened by being push-pressed by the exhaust rocker arm, and a rocker arm shaft swingably supporting the exhaust rocker arm. In the internal combustion engine for the motorcycle, the rear cylinder head is provided separately from a holder member, the holder member being provided adjacently to the rear cylinder head, the camshaft is rotatably supported by the holder member, and the holder member is provided with right and left rear side walls and internal combustion engine supporting portions, the right and left rear side walls supporting the rocker arm shaft, the internal combustion engine supporting portion being supported by a vehicle body frame.
