Abstract
An internal combustion engine having the cylinders thereof arranged in a V-formation and having a sound deadening material jacketing the body of the engine. Two plate-like carriers are gripped between the confronting parts of the cylinder housing and the outwardly projecting rims thereof to constitute a frame which surrounds the engine body from all sides. A plurality of deadening shells conforming to the shape of the engine body bear in sealed fashion against the frame with the interposition of at least one vibration deadening insert. These shells are secured to the body of the engine with the intermediary of spacer elements providing a vibration dampening support.
