Abstract

See full text

A three cylinder engine includes a vibration alleviation unit for alleviating vibrations in a vehicle. The vibration alleviation unit is disposed at least one of upon the crankshaft and upon a part that operates in unison with the crankshaft. The three cylinder is supported by engine mounts that are positioned upon at least both ends of the engine in the direction of the crankshaft axis. Given that KV and KH represent spring constants of one of the engine mounts in the pitch and yaw directions of the crankshaft, MV and MH represent components of a primary couple that occurs in the three cylinder engine in the pitch and yaw directions, and MV0 represents the sum of MV and MH, then spring constants of the engine mounts are set such that KV >KH and the vibration alleviation unit is set so as to satisfy the condition 0 V/MV0 <0.5.
