A partition plate for an intake port of a cylinder head to be manufactured by
cast
molding is preliminarily set prior to the cast molding in a sand core applied to
form the intake port and then cast in by the cast molding to partition the intake
port into a plurality of ports. The partition plate is provided with an intake-side
distal end, a cylinder-side distal end, a pair of side edges continuous with the
intake-side distal end and the cylinder-sided distal end and to be cast in by molten
metal during the cast molding. Each of the pair of side edges having end faces
facing in a thickness direction and a side end face continuous with the end faces.
The partition plate is further provided with a promoter section provided on at
least one of the side end face and the end faces of each of the pair of side edges
to promote solidification of the molten metal.
