Abstract
A cylinder liner support arrangement in an internal combustion engine, preferably in which the cylinder block and cylinder head are integrated in a common monobloc element and the cylinder barrels for the engine pistons have cylinder liners which have their upper portions inserted in cylinder bores in the cylinder block. The lower portions of the cylinder liners are accommodated in cylindrical apertures in a common cylinder liner support which may be made as a single element and is removably secured to a lower surface of the cylinder block. The cylinder liner support includes a number (corresponding to the number of cylinders of the engine) of mutually connected supporting sleeves which are disposed in-line, delineate the cylindrical apertures and have their sleeve walls surrounding the lower portions of the cylinder liners and providing them with lateral support. The cylinder liner support includes a mounting plate from one side of which the supporting sleeves protrude. Along the side edges of the mounting plate fastening holes are provided to accommodate screws for screwing the cylinder liner support securely to the lower surface of the cylinder block.
