Abstract

See full text

A manifold assembly is provided having an engine manifold, a mounting collar, and a resilient annulet. The mounting collar is disposed on the engine manifold and the resilient annulet is coupled to the mounting collar. The engine manifold has an inlet, an outlet, a resilient sleeve, and a primary protuberance. The resilient sleeve is coupled to the outer surface of the engine manifold and the primary protuberance is formed on the outer surface of the engine manifold. The mounting collar has a secondary protuberance and a manifold aperture formed therein. The resilient annulet is coupled to the manifold aperture. The resilient annulet is sealingly engaged with the resilient sleeve and the primary protuberance abuts the secondary protuberance. The manifold assembly for an engine minimizes a required number of components, minimizes a time of assembly of the manifold assembly, and militates against a rotation of the engine manifold.
