Years ago I set up a 16/1, my cement pad was 6x8x2 feet thick. I used 5/8 j hooks x14 inches long in the cement. I discovered I was shaking my neighborhood when running. I added 1 inch thick rubber horse mat under my engine/generator frame. It helped but still thumped, running 1 time it started making a different noise. I found that it broke 3 of the 5/8 j hooks. I ended up calling a special vibration isolation company, after a bunch of questions including the engine speed. They set me up with special mounts that corrected all vibration problems. The only thing is the total frame/ engin assembly needs to be able to move 1 inch in any direction. So keeping things flexible was key.
