Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an engine support system and method. The engine support system includes a frame mounted engine support and at least one engine mounted coupler. The engine support includes a frame mount with a telescoping body and opposing arms to releasably engage a frame of a vehicle, and at least one jack assembly. Each jack assembly includes a collar coupled to and horizontally movable along the telescoping body, and a jack rod coupled to and vertically movable relative to the collar. The jack rod includes a ball mount configured to insert into the coupler at an underside of an engine block of the vehicle. Each jack assembly is configured to support and/or lift the engine block relative to the vehicle frame by vertical movement of the ball mount into the coupler and relative to the frame mount engaged with the vehicle frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a Helmholtz resonator (6) for damping airborne sound in a space, particularly in a conduit (4, 5) transporting airborne sound, comprising a housing (8) surrounding a resonance volume (9), comprising at least one neck (10) for connecting the resonance volume (9) to the space or to the conduit (4, 5) transporting the airborne sound. The Helmholtz resonator (6) obtains at least two resonance frequencies if the housing (8) has at least one wall section delimiting the resonance volume (9), said wall section being formed by a vibratory membrane (11), and if the membrane (11) is tuned such that the resonance frequency thereof corresponds to the first order of the resonance frequency of an identically constructed Helmholtz resonator that does not have such a membrane (11).
