ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle with a cylinder head, an intake manifold, and a fuel distributor rail. The downstream end of the intake manifold is connected by a flange to intake channels in the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine. The fuel distributor rail is located at the downstream end of the intake manifold and is connected to fuel injection valves. The internal combustion engine is installed in the motor vehicle in such a way that the intake manifold is located on the side of the cylinder head on which the external crash force will act during a crash. A protective strap, which extends at least over the entire width of the flange, is attached to the cylinder head. The protective strap is located so that, based on direction of the crash force, it is a certain distance in front of the fuel distributor rail and, based on the direction in which the intake manifold will be deformed upstream of the flange during a crash, this direction being at an angle to the direction of the crash force, a certain distance behind the intake manifold.
