Abstract
A sealing arrangement within the area of the joint surfaces between cylinder head, inserted cylinder liner with cylinder liner flange and cylinder crankcase of a water-cooled internal combustion engine in which a recessed fit is provided at the cylinder head for the accommodation of the cylinder liner flange; a flat seal is thereby arranged on the joint surface between the cylinder-crankcase and the cylinder head and the flange of the cylinder liner as well as the cylinder head rest on the flat seal; the transmission of the contact pressure onto the cylinder liner flange thereby takes place by direct contact with the cylinder head.

A sealing arrangement within the area of the joint surface means between cylinder head, cylinder liner and cylinder-crankcase of an internal combustion engine equipped with inserted cylinder liners provided with a flange, a fitting recess being provided at the cylinder head for accommodating the cylinder liner flange, characterized in that a flat seal means is arranged on the joint surface means between cylinder-crankcase and cylinder head and in that both the flange of the cylinder liner as also the cylinder head rest on the flat seal means, the transmission of the contact pressure onto the cylinder liner flange taking place by direct contact with the cylinder head.
A sealing arrangement for an internal combustion engine comprising:
- a cylinder head, a cylinder-crankcase, and cylinder liner means arranged to provide facing joint surfaces, and
- seal means arranged between the joint surfaces in sealing engagement therewith,
- wherein a cylinder liner means flange and the cylinder head constitute one of said joint surfaces and the cylinder-crankcase constitutes the other of said joint surfaces.
