Description
What Is the Purpose of an Engine Block?
An engine block is an essential part of the structure of an
internal combustion engine. It contains the crankcase and all its
parts, including gaskets, valves and seals. The engine block
contains cylindrically bored holes for the pistons and ways to
attach other components such as the cylinder head. It is a solid,
sturdy and heavy piece of equipment.
Engine Block
The purpose of the engine block is to support the components of the
engine. Additionally, the engine block transfers heat from friction
to the atmosphere and engine coolant. The material selected for the
engine block is either gray cast iron or aluminum alloy. Both of
these metals have good thermal conductivity and fluidity in the
molten state.
Construction
The head is attached to the top surface of the cylinder block with
studs/bolts. A gasket is used between the head and the block to
provide a seal to prevent leakage of gases. Besides, the block also
has ports, oil passages and water jackets carved inside it to
provide lubrication and cooling. However, some cylinder blocks also
house camshaft & have provisions to mount the related parts.
Moreover, the L-head engine blocks also contain openings for the
valves & valve ports. The bottom of the block supports the
crankshaft and also the oil pan. In most engines, the block also
supports the camshaft through bushings that fit into machined
holes. In some engines, the intake and exhaust manifolds are
attached to the sides of the block. Other parts fitted to the block
include the water pump, timing gear (both at the front) and
flywheel, clutch housing (both at rear). They also include
ignition, distributor, and fuel pump.
Cylinder block design
Furthermore, water-cooled engines have passages carved into the
block. The circulating water maintains the engine optimum
temperature and avoids excessive expansion and distortion of moving
parts. Thus, it prevents the seizure of the relative moving parts.
