Abstract:
An example lubricant supply device for an auxiliary machine of an engine includes a cam formed at one end of a cam shaft rotatably supported by a cylinder head. The lubricant supply device further includes a housing, for storing the auxiliary machine, attached to an attaching surface formed at an end of the cylinder head. The housing may hold a driven member driven by the cam. The lubricant supply device may further include a lubricant hole formed on the attaching surface through which lubricant is supplied from a lubricant passage formed in the cylinder head to the cam storage space. The lubricant supply device may further include a metal gasket positioned between the attaching surface and the housing to seal the cam storage space and outside. The metal gasket has a hole for communicating with the lubricant hole and a slit communicating between the hole and the cam storage space.
