Abstract

See full text

Vehicle engine systems and inserts for such systems are presented. The insert can be positioned between an air intake system and a cylinder bank of an engine. In some arrangements, the insert can be positioned such that a first abutment surface directly contacts portions of a surge tank and a second abutment surface directly contacts portions of a cylinder head cover. The insert can be constructed, positioned, and/or oriented to absorb or transfer forces acting upon the engine system during impacts. For instance, the insert can be arranged such that it extends between the surge tank and the cylinder head cover along an axis that is substantially parallel to a predetermined force direction of a predetermined impact force.
