    Abstract: An engine block assembly and method manufacturing an engine block assembly and related components. A casted engine block assembly includes a cylinder block portion. The cylinder block portion includes a plurality of cylinder block openings disposed therein, a cylinder block flange portion positioned at a top of the cylinder block portion and a cylinder block crankcase portion disposed at a base of the cylinder block. The cylinder block flange portion is configured for coupling the cylinder block to a cylinder head. The cylinder block portion includes a plurality of cylinder block walls extending between the cylinder block flange portion and the cylinder block crankcase portion and positioned about the plurality of cylinder block openings. The cylinder block walls house a plurality of internal channels. The plurality of cylinder block walls are void of enclosed openings extending through at least one of the cylinder block walls in the plurality of cylinder block walls.

    Abstract: A cylinder liner for a cylinder bore of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine. The cylinder liner includes a cylindrical casing having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein each surface has a respective surface area. The liner includes a liner seat positioned on the outer surface wherein the liner seat engages with the cylinder bore to position the cylindrical casing in the cylinder bore. The liner includes a relief feature positioned on the outer surface either adjacent the liner seat or above a mid-stop wherein the relief feature resists distortion of the cylindrical casing from the cylinder bore. The liner can include a stiffening feature positioned above the relief feature on the outer surface. The relief feature forms a depressed surface on the outer surface and the stiffening feature forms a raised surface on the outer surface of the cylindrical casing.

    Abstract: An engine block includes one or more cylinder bores wherein each cylinder bore is surrounded by a cylinder bore wall. The cylinder bore wall includes a liner stop mechanism to locate a liner in the cylinder bore. The cylinder bore includes a mid-portion that spans between an upper end and a lower end, wherein the liner stop mechanism can be located near the upper end, near the lower end, or the mid-portion. The engine block has an outer cylinder block wall that is exterior to the cylinder bore wall. The outer cylinder block wall includes a first rib positioned above the liner stop mechanism and a second rib positioned below the liner stop mechanism relative to a cylindrical axis of the cylinder bore. The first and second ribs straddle the liner stop mechanism to reduce rotation and buckling of the liner during operation of the engine.
