Abstract
A multi-cylinder internal combustion engine has flangeless wet cylinder liners to reduce the size of the engine. Each cylinder liner has a shoulder near its crankcase end for sealing a coolant space around the liner and for compression against a seat of an engine block with an individual cylinder head at its opposite, flangeless cylinder head end. Near the cylinder head ends, the liners have side sealing lands cooperative with sealing lands on a web of the engine block without affixation thereto for sealing the adjacent end of the coolant space, the web being thin because it does not support the cylinder head to reduce further the engine size.
