  • Publication number: 20160053709
    Abstract: A cylinder liner assembly is disclosed for use with an engine. The cylinder liner assembly may have a liner with a hollow generally cylindrical body extending from a top end to a bottom end along a longitudinal axis, and an internal recess formed at the top end. The cylinder liner assembly may also have an anti-polishing ring disposed within the internal recess at the top end of the liner, and a seal disposed around the liner at an internal axial end of the anti-polishing ring. A surface roughness of the internal recess, together with a surface roughness of the anti-polishing ring, may create a thermal barrier configured to maintain a desired temperature of the seal.
