Abstract
A cylinder of an internal combustion engine, in which cylinder liner an oscillating piston is guided on a running surface wherein the cylinder line is fixed vertically by means of a collar between a cylinder housing and a cylinder head. The wet cylinder includes an outer side which deviates from a circular shape and/or a rotationally asymmetrical outer contour of the collar. The cylinder liner is fitted in a positionally oriented manner in a corresponding receptable of the cylinder housing.

The cylinder liner of a cylinder for an internal combustion engine in which a reciprocating piston is guided on a running surface, wherein the cylinder liner is attached vertically to a collar between a cylinder housing and a cylinder head, characterized in that an outer side and/or an outer contour of the collar of the wet cylinder liner are executed rotationally asymmetrically and the outer side and/or the outer contour is fitted aligned in a matching seat of the cylinder housing.
The cylinder liner of a cylinder for an internal combustion engine in which a reciprocating piston is guided on a running surface, wherein the cylinder liner is fixed vertically in a cylinder housing, characterized in that the cylinder liner includes in the axial direction at least two sections formed of different materials that are materially joined to form one unit and the cylinder liner can be used both as a wet and a dry cylinder liner.
