ABSTRACT:
An engine mount includes an inner member and an outer cylinder having a circumferential position around a central axis of the engine mount, the circumferential position being changeable relative to the inner member. A bracket fixed to the inner member supports an engine on the engine mount, the bracket having a circumferential position around the central axis of the engine mount which is changeable relative to the outer cylinder. A stopper of an elastic material is provided on one of the outer cylinder and the inner member, the stopper contacting the other of the outer cylinder and the inner member when a change in length of one of the outer cylinder and the inner member relative to the other exceeds a reference level. An interconnecting member of an elastic material exerts a pressing force on the outer cylinder and the inner member such that the other of the outer cylinder and the inner member is contacted by the stopper to prevent the change in length of one of the outer cylinder and the inner member from further increasing from the reference level. A reference position indicating unit indicates whether the circumferential positions of the outer cylinder and the bracket relative to each other around the central axis of the engine mount are reference positions.
