A plurality of annular oil seal members are disposed coaxial respectively with the openings and made of an elastomeric material. The annular inward lip section of each seal member is in contact with the metal pipe member. A plurality of annular support members for the oil seal members are disposed coaxial respectively with the openings and made of a plastic. The annular outward section of the oil seal member is fixedly secured to the inner peripheral portion of each annular support member. The rocker cover main body is formed with a surface facing downward, forming part of the rocker cover main body. Each annular support member is welded at its top surface to the downward facing surface of the rocker cover main body.
