Abstract
The invention relates to a connection of a crankcase ( ) of an internal combustion engine ( ) to a cylinder housing ( ) of which at least one housing part is made of light metal. The housing parts ( ) lie with their respective housing flanges ( ) in surface contact one against the other and are clamped seal-tight to each other with the aid of retaining screws ( ). The retaining screws ( ) are of light metal and a curing liquid seal ( ) is between the housing flanges ( ) so as to lie against both sides. In this way, a connection for a light metal cylinder housing ( ) with a crankcase ( ) is achieved by using light metal housing materials. A reliable seal is provided which is permanently resistant to the operating loads of the engine ( ).
