Abstract: A system and method are provided for an internal combustion engine. An engine system, in one example, includes a cylinder liner positioned within an opening of a crankcase, including a surface biasing a landing surface of an undercut fillet of the crankcase, and including a cylinder opening and a seal arranged in a groove of the cylinder liner positioned axially above the undercut fillet. The engine system further includes a fluid gasket and a combustion gasket positioned between a cylinder head and the crankcase, the fluid gasket and the combustion gasket being decoupled from one another.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a cylinder liner for an engine including a catcher feature on a side surface to provide radial support and improved coolant sealing. In one example, the catcher feature may include a continuous stepped catcher extending from the cylinder liner body and a stepped tab of the engine block, the stepped catcher resting on the stepped tab. Also, a radial flange in the upper portion of the cylinder liner may be coupled to the engine block, the coupling sealed via an O-ring nestled in a groove formed in the radial flange.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a coolant system coupled to cylinders in a locomotive engine. In one example, a coolant system coupled to an individual cylinder may include a cylinder liner jacket encircling the cylinder, a cylinder head lower coolant jacket surrounding a lower surface of a cylinder head placed over the cylinder, a cylinder head upper coolant jacket surrounding an upper surface of the cylinder head, and a cylinder head exhaust port cooling jacket surrounding an exhaust port of the cylinder. Coolant may flow to each of the cooling jackets from a coolant feed gallery located in the engine crankcase, and after flowing through the engine, the coolant may return to a coolant return gallery also located in the engine crankcase.
