The engine undercover has an opening 15 into which the deepest section 9 of an oil pan 8 mounted to the lower surface of the engine body 4a can be inserted, and the opening except for a predetermined clearance 16 formed between the opening edge of the opening and the oil pan deepest section is blocked with the deepest section of the oil pan. The oil pan deepest section projects downward from the opening. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
