Abstract: A crankcase assembly for a reciprocating machine is provided in which a crankcase having at least one cylinder with a wet cylinder liner arranged therein. A cylinder head for charging and discharging pressurized gas is mounted on the crankcase and a cylinder head gasket for preventing leakage of pressurized gas out of the cylinder is arranged between the crankcase and the cylinder head and is running circumferentially spaced from the inner wall of the cylinder liner. A circumferential coolant channel is formed between the inner crankcase wall and an outer wall of the cylinder liner, wherein a lower sealing means is arranged between the inner crankcase wall and the cylinder liner on the crankshaft side of the coolant channel for preventing leakage of coolant fluid. An upper sealing means is arranged between the inner crankcase wall and the cylinder liner on the cylinder head side of the coolant channel for preventing leakage of coolant fluid.

Abstract: An assembly for the modification of a truck bed of a pickup truck which facilitates the conversion of a two or three seat pickup truck into a four or five seat pickup truck convertible, the assembly comprising a flared extension sidewall adjacent the cab portion which extends the effective width of the truck bed to permit the rotation of the pickup truck cab into the truck bed when the pickup truck cab's lower width dimension is greater than the inner width dimension of the truck bed.

Abstract: An improvement in pickup trucks whereby two or three seat pickups may be transformed into four or five seat pickup truck convertibles. The invention consists of a modified pickup truck cab section that doubles as a rearwardly facing jump seat and a truck bed that offers a mechanism to secure the jump seat in place and a passenger restraint for those riding in the jump seat. The device facilitates the conversion without the use of additional parts or frame reinforcements.
