1. An internal combustion engine comprising:

  • a crankcase that rotatably supports a crankshaft;

    a case cover that liquid-tightly covers a side of the crankcase;

    a cylinder block that is joined to the crankcase and has a plurality of cylinders in a V-type arrangement in which the cylinders are disposed above a virtual horizontal plane including a rotational axis of the crankshaft and intersect each other at a bank angle;

    a to-be-detected body that rotates integrally with the crankshaft; and

    a detection sensor that is mounted from an outside on the crankcase at a position higher than the virtual horizontal plane and is made to face a trajectory of the to-be-detected body to generate a pulse signal in response to movement of the to-be-detected body.
