Abstract: An internal combustion engine comprises an aluminum alloy engine block housing pistons in cylinders and having a lower face including an upper semi-circular bearing surface. A lower bearing support has a lower semi-circular bearing surface to complement the upper semi-circular bearing surface in the engine block to define a crankshaft bore to rotatably support an iron alloy crankshaft. The lower bearing support is formed of a single aluminum-silicon alloy having a coefficient of thermal expansion comparable to the iron alloy crankshaft to promote a consistent clearance between the lower bearing support and the crankshaft. Such an aluminum-silicon alloy is comprised of approximately 33-35% by weight silicon and the balance is aluminum.

Abstract: A powder metal main bearing cap has integral dowels at its adjoining face around bolt holes and tooth projections surrounding the dowels. The dowels are force fit into counterbores in the engine block and the teeth bite into the metal of the block around the bolt holes to inhibit fretting wear. Elongated bolt holes can be formed in the main bearing cap to accommodate a splayed joint, with the bolt head supporting face of the cap at an oblique angle to the hole. The bearing cap can be first pressed into the engine block so as to assure indentation by the teeth and insertion of the dowels, followed by bolting.

Abstract: A crankcase for an internal-combustion engine is constructed with a crankcase top and bottom sections made of a light-metal material. Bearing points for a crankshaft and at least one cylinder space are provided. In the region of the bearing points for the crankshaft, respective parts are cast into the crankcase bottom and top sections. The cast-in parts are constructed of a material with a higher modulus of elasticity and a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the light metal material for the crankcase bottom and top sections. The cast-in parts are constructed for each bearing point as separate, spatially mutually separated members.

Abstract: A reinforcing insert for an engine block formed of a lightweight material is provided which is positioned in the bearing saddle area of the block for increasing the strength and stiffness of the bearing saddle area to ensure a secure connection of the main bearing cap throughout engine operation thereby ensuring proper crankshaft support and operation. The reinforcing insert is formed of a material having a higher modulus of elasticity than a modulus of elasticity of the lightweight engine block material. The insert includes a lower transverse surface for positioning at a lowermost position in the engine block, an upper surface positioned farthest from the crankshaft, a first and second linear side surfaces for positioning on opposite sides of the crankshaft. The linear sides extend from the lower surface along respective planes in nonparallel relation to each other. The linear sides may extend either in a converging or a diverging manner from the lower surface. Alternatively, the insert may include two cylindrical inserts positioned in bores formed in the block on opposite sides of the crankshaft. These insert designs provide strengthening and stiffening of the block over an optimum area while permitting secure attachment of a main bearing cap to the lightweight block.
