A
cylinder block is an important part of a vehicle's engine. It is a solid structure that houses the cylinders, where the fuel is burnt to create power. The
cylinder block is typically made of metal and provides stability and support for other engine components.
Full definition
The composite CGI /
aluminum cylinder block saves weight while providing strength where it's needed most for durability.
The engines were all inline - four types, derived from those used in the outgoing 124 range, with a cast
iron cylinder block and aluminium alloy cylinder head.
In other cars, the sensor could be installed at the transmission bell housing, or in the
engine cylinder block, as in the photo below.
Both use an inline six -
cylinder block with 3 liters of displacement and a twin - scroll turbo.
This is a typical 60 ° V6 engine with a compact
aluminum cylinder block, its bore spacing is 98 mm, and the deck height is 235 mm.
This new 6.6 - litre V8 turbo - diesel has been redesigned with a
new cylinder block and heads.
Technical Data: 8 cylinder 90 degree V - configuration, aluminium - silicon
alloy cylinder block with cast iron wet cylinder liners, bore x stroke 104.14 x 91.44 mm (4.1 x 3.6 in), capacity 6,230 cc, aluminium alloy cylinder heads; 2 SU carburettors; 4 - speed automatic gearbox, hypoid bevel final drive; independent front suspension with coil springs, semi-elliptic springs rear; drum brakes servo - assisted; wheelbase 3,124.2 mm or 3,225.8 mm (123 in or 127 in); tyre size 8.20 x 15
The die - cast aluminum
cylinder block features bay - to - bay breathing to reduce internal pumping losses, while a deep - sump oil pan contributes to extended oil - change intervals.
It has the same
cylinder block as in N54 which is made of aluminum with cast iron sleeves equipped by oil injectors.
In contrast to RB25DET, RB26DETT
uses cylinder block without oil port, also it has crankshaft with 73.7 mm piston stroke, connecting rods are installed (as on RB25DET NEO), new pistons (they are 1 mm lower), and compression ratio is 8.5.
3 timing chains are used in EZ36, and
also cylinder block heads were improved by modification of combustion chambers.
The new aluminium TD4 engine features lightweight construction, with
stiff cylinder blocks and decoupled injectors, which ensures low levels of vibration and noise intrusion, further enhancing the driver experience.
It is the same as QR20DE, but new crankshaft with piston stroke 100 mm was installed
into cylinder block.
Its main differences from RB26DETT are the following:
improved cylinder block (cooling system was updated), marked as 24U, and also reinforced connecting rods, pistons, turbochargers Garrett M24 with steel impeller, upgraded turbo manifold.
But for 1973, Pontiac's engineering team added a
strengthened cylinder block with four - bolt main bearings, forged rods, forged aluminum pistons, and high flow cylinder heads.
«New engines are very popular, and the data being requested
included cylinder blocks, the intake tract from the air intake to the cylinder heads, internal parts and engine accessory drives.
The MDX's evolved 3.7 L V - 6 uses a more
rigid cylinder block, high - strength crankshaft, heavy - duty connecting rods, high compression - ratio pistons, cylinder heads with improved cooling, exclusive camshaft specs, a new 2 - rocker arm design VTEC ® valvetrain system, more performance oriented camshaft specs when in VTEC ®, new intake valve springs, a new EGR system, unique long - reach spark plugs, a larger throttle body among other features.
This engine uses the
same cylinder block as QG16DE, but cylinder diameter is enlarged to 80 mm.
The engine also features increased
cylinder block height (from the previous 3.5 - liter design), ladder frame construction for greater rigidity, large crank journal and pin diameters, asymmetric piston skirts, twin knock sensors, an electronically controlled «drive - by - wire» throttle system, molybdenum coated lightweight pistons, Iridium spark plugs and a symmetric twin air intake system.
A dome - type long -
skirt cylinder block narrows the space between intake valves while the application of four resonators reduces engine noise.
This updated engine features coil on plug electronics, higher compression, a
reinforced cylinder block, a higher flowing cylinder head, and a larger integrated to manifold turbocharger colloquially named the CT15.
It was developed on basis of
VQ35HR cylinder block with enlarged height, camshaft with 92 mm piston stroke inside, and new connecting rods.
The
2AR cylinder block height has been increased; it features the crankshaft with 105 mm stroke.
Thoroughly improved for the new Genesis, this engine includes a three - stage variable intake system, triangular - pattern fuel injector for improved combustion, an air - gap exhaust manifold for better NVH, and an
upgraded cylinder block with a variable - vane 2 - stage oil pump for reduced parasitic losses.
Like its fixed - roof stablemate, the 128i Convertible will feature Valvetronic valvetrain management and aluminum /
magnesium cylinder block construction - core elements of BMW's EfficientDynamics.
This engine was created on the base of the 1.5 - liter aluminum
D15A cylinder block, but the engineers increased its deck height to 212 mm.
This in turn allows room for structural modifications to further reduce weight: cylinder heads with thinner walls and an integrated exhaust manifold are 6.6 pounds (3 kg) lighter while the new aluminum -
made cylinder block saves another 55.1 pounds (25 kilograms).
Noise and Vibration Control With its 60 - degree V - angle and compact, rigid and lightweight die - cast aluminum
cylinder block assembly, the 3.5 - liter V - 6 powerplant is exceptionally smooth during operation.
