In a secondary air supplying structure of an internal combustion engine,
extending portions protruding upward are arranged in the number
corresponding to the number of cylinders. Extending portions are each
provided with a secondary air distribution path. To a surface of
extending portion to which secondary air supplying pipe abuts, a seating
face that conforms to the outer shape of secondary air supplying pipe is
formed. Secondary air distributing path is arranged to be inclined
downwardly from secondary air supplying pipe side toward the cylinder
exhaust system of cylinder head. Thus, it is possible to provide the
secondary air supplying structure of an internal combustion engine that
can attain an improvement in the strength of the secondary air supplying
path, reduction of the space, rust prevention, reduced costs, reduced
weight, simplified structure, and prevention of thermal damage to other
components.
