  • Cylinder liner for an internal combustion engine and method of forming
    Patent number: 10393059
    Abstract: A method of forming an engine is provided. A liner is cast with an outer surface with a first texture extending circumferentially from a first end to a second end of the liner. A section of the outer surface of the liner is machined to provide a second texture extending circumferentially about the liner and spaced apart from the first end, wherein the second texture has a lower specific surface area than the first texture. An engine and a cylinder liner for the engine are provided. The liner has first and second ends with an outer surface extending therebetween. An outer surface of the liner has axial sections defining different textures to form material interfaces with the block with different thermal conductivities thereacross.

  • Bore bridge and cylinder cooling
    Patent number: 9470176
    Abstract: An engine includes a cylinder block having first and second passages intersecting a block face on opposed sides of a bore bridge defining a bore bridge cooling passage. A cylinder head has third and fourth passages intersecting a head face. The first and fourth passages are opposed from one another. A gasket is placed between the block and the head. The gasket adapted to fluidly connect the first and fourth passages via the bore bridge cooling passage, and cover the second passage.
