Methods and systems are provided for a sub-assembly. In one example, a method for the subassembly includes separating a monoblock of the subassembly into two separate portions and applying a sealing material to at least one of the two separate portions and rejoining the portions.

Method for producing a cylinder head and cylinder block

A method including closing upper and lower ends of a bore with upper and lower closure element, respectively; introducing a cathode into the bore; and flowing an electrolyte through an annular space between a wall of the bore an outer surface of the cathode to provide an inner surface of the bore with a wear-resistant surface by electrolysis.

Method and device for producing a wear-resistant surface on a workpiece

Methods and systems are provided for coatings of a portion of an engine block shaping a combustion chamber. In one example, the engine block includes a first coating with a thermal conductivity higher than a conductivity of the engine block arranged in an upper region of the combustion chamber and a second coating with a thermal conductivity lower than the conductivity of the engine block arranged in a lower region of the combustion chamber, and where the second coating touches the first coating.

Methods and systems for engine block thermal conductivity

A method is proposed for producing a cylinder working surface of an internal combustion engine that is optimized in terms of friction and wear.

Method for producing a coated surface of a tribological system

A method of producing an enamel coating for a cylinder bore in a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine is provided. The method also provides for coating a cast iron gray cylinder block with an enamel coating.

Method for coating a bore and cylinder block of an internal combustion engine

An internal combustion engine is disclosed that has a cylinder block with multiple cylinders, a bridge between adjacent cylinders, a cooling slot in the bridge, and a water jacket portion in the cylinder block. A cylinder head is coupled to the cylinder block which has a first cooling passage fluidly coupling the cooling slot and the water jacket portion in the cylinder block, a water jacket portion in the cylinder head, and a second cooling passage in the cylinder head fluidly coupling the cooling slot with the water jacket portion in the cylinder head. A cylinder head gasket is arranged between the cylinder head and the cylinder block which has a first orifice in the cylinder head gasket cooperating with the first cooling passage a second orifice in the cylinder head gasket cooperating with the second cooling passage.

Cooling system defined in a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine

The disclosure relates to an internal combustion engine with a cooling circuit having a water jacket portion in the cylinder block and a water jacket portion in the cylinder head which has an intake portion and an exhaust portion. Flow from the intake and exhaust portions mix in an outlet housing which has a cylinder head outlet thermostat. A coolant pump provides flow to a first branch to the exhaust portion and a second branch to the water jacket portion in the cylinder block. A block thermostat is located in the second branch downstream of the coolant pump and upstream of the water jacket portion in the cylinder block. The intake portion of the water jacket portion in the cylinder head is fluidly coupled to the water jacket portion in the cylinder block.

Cooling system

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine having a piston-cooling arrangement () which has at least one spray device () which is supplied with a coolant/lubricant via at least one supply passageway (). The supply passageway () is arranged in a module () composed of a crankshaft-bearing structural element () and a crankshaft-bearing cap (). The spray device () is coupled to the crankshaft-bearing cap (), a crankshaft-bearing shell () in the region of the supply passageway (). Supply passageway () also connect to through-opening (), so that coolant/lubricant can be directed via the supply passageway () to both the spray device () and a crankshaft (). The spray device () is designed as an oil-spray nozzle () or alternatively as a spray hole () integrated in the crankshaft-bearing cap ().
