Abstract
An engine oil pan is mounted in noise reducing vibration isolation from the associated engine by a mounting arrangement including a unitary resilient seal having lips that extend under the oil pan flange to retain the seal in assembly with the pan both during and after assembly of the pan to the engine block. Separate support members interconnect spacer sleeves that extend through gripping openings in the seal and limit compression of the seal by oil pan attaching bolts so as to maintain the vibration isolating qualities of the seal in assembly.
