Abstract
The present invention refers to a cylinder liner for an internal combustion engine, comprising a flange having a seat-engaging surface which is configured for bearing onto a flange seat of an engine block, and wherein the seat-engaging surface has a sloped portion which extends along at least a half of a radial length of the seat-engaging surface and which is inclined relative to a radial plane being normal to a longitudinal axis of the cylinder liner.

A cylinder liner for an internal combustion engine, comprising a flange having a seat-engaging surface, and wherein the seat-engaging surface has a sloped portion which extends along at least a half of a radial length of the seat-engaging surface and which is inclined, in a dissembled state, relative to a radial plane being normal to a longitudinal axis of the cylinder liner;
- the cylinder liner is designed such that, in a mounted state in which the cylinder liner is installed in the engine, the flange is bent or shifted such that the flange is parallel to a radial plane and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder liner.
