ABSTRACT:
A generator set assembly in which an engine is mounted upon a base by way of a specialized mounting component, and a related method of mounting an engine upon a base using such a specialized mounting component, are disclosed. The specialized mounting component includes a first rigid portion capable of being fixedly coupled to the engine, a second rigid portion capable of being fixedly coupled to the base, a flexible intermediate portion coupled between the first and second rigid portions that allows relative movement of the first and second rigid portions to occur in response to expansion and contraction of the engine during operation of the engine, and a further component extending between the first and second rigid portions through the flexible intermediate portion. The further component is capable of limiting relative movement of the first and second rigid portions.
