  • Patent number: 10487771
    Abstract: An engine component includes stratified metal layers. The stratified metal layers form walls of a cylinder head having internal cavities defining a cooling jacket configured to direct coolant within and through the walls. The stratified metal layers also form a lattice disposed within and spanning between opposing surfaces of the cooling jacket configured to promote heat transfer between the stratified metal layers and coolant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 15, 2018

  • Patent number: 9784175
    Abstract: An engine cylinder block forms a cooling jacket adjacent to a cylinder and that intersects a deck face adapted to mate with a cylinder head. The cooling jacket has an inlet passage intersecting a mounting face adapted to mate with a coolant pump housing. The block forms a vent passage extending from the cooling jacket to the mounting face. The pump housing forms a volute adapted to receive an impeller. The housing forms a discharge passage that fluidly connects to the inlet passage of the block. The pump housing also forms a vent passage the fluidly connects with the vent passage of the block. The vent passages of the block and pump housing are positioned between the deck face of the block and the inlet and discharge passages when the pump housing is connected to the engine block.
