Abstract: An engine assembly includes an oil pan having an oil pan body. The oil pan body includes an inner pan surface defining a cavity configured to collect oil and an outer pan surface opposite the inner pan surface. Further, the oil pan includes a dividing wall disposed within the cavity and coupled to the oil pan body. The dividing wall divides the cavity into a first compartment and a second compartment. The oil pan defines an opening extending through the dividing wall. A valve is disposed in the opening and can move between an open position and a closed position. When the valve is in the open position, the first compartment is in fluid communication with the second compartment.

Abstract: An engine thermal management system for a vehicle having an exhaust gas system and an engine with an integrated exhaust manifold and a method for controlling the same are provided. The engine thermal management system may include a coolant pump, an engine water jacket, and a controller. The engine water jacket expels coolant from an IEM coolant outlet, which is directly cast into the integrated exhaust manifold. The coolant flowing through the engine water jacket and expelled from the IEM coolant outlet is in heat exchange relation with a heated exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas system, via an engine cylinder head and an exhaust gas septum, to thereby extract heat therefrom, resulting in a heated coolant, which is expelled from the IEM coolant outlet and selectively routed, by the controller, to one of a heater core, an engine oil heat exchanger, a transmission heat exchanger, and a radiator.

Abstract: A cooling jacket for an engine has upper and lower bodies. The upper body includes a plurality of upper portions. Each upper portion has a top orifice and a bottom orifice. The lower body is located below the upper body and includes a plurality of lower portions. Each lower portion has a lower orifice aligned with a respective one of the bottom orifices so as to permit a coolant to flow through the lower orifice and into the bottom orifice. The coolant flows from that lower portion to the respective one of the upper portions. Each upper portion has at least one upper passageway extending through that upper portion from the bottom orifice to the top orifice so that the coolant entering the upper passageway of that upper portion flows through the upper portion to the top orifice.

Abstract: A variable compression ratio (VCR) internal combustion engine having a compression stroke and an expansion stroke includes an engine block defining a cylinder and a cylinder head mounted to the engine block and defining at least a part of a combustion chamber. The VCR engine also includes a reciprocating piston arranged inside the cylinder and configured to compress a mixture of air and fuel and receive a combustion force, wherein the compression stroke of the piston defines a compression ratio of the engine. The VCR engine additionally includes a six-bar linkage mechanism configured to operatively connect the piston to the engine block, articulate on seven distinct parallel axes, decouple the compression stroke from the expansion stroke, and continuously and selectively vary the compression stroke of the piston and the compression ratio of the engine.
