What is Engine Lining?

 The engine liner is one of the parts inside the pistons. It performs the combustion process inside the pistons. Although it is popularly known as an engine liner, it is also called a cylinder liner. There are different types of cylinder liners in gasoline and diesel engines. Due to the working styles of the engines, diesel engines have wet and dry engine liners, while gasoline engines have water and air-cooled cylinder liners.

Essentially, the engine liner is one of the basic parts that allows the vehicle to ignite. It surrounds these parts by forming the outer frame in the task of moving the pistons up and down inside the cylinder cavities. In other words, the pistons move inside the engine jacket. What Does a Engine Jacket Do? Both sides of the pistons face in different directions. The combustion chamber is located at the top, while the crankcase is located at the bottom. The main purpose of the crankcase is to prevent unknown substances from entering the engine and to cool the engine oil. In the combustion chamber, the necessary ignition is made for the operation of the engine. The pistons are located in the middle of these two points. The engine liner surrounds these pistons. The inner surface of the engine liner is the surface on which the rings that provide the sealing between the combustion chamber and the crankcase rub. In other words, it also acts as an intermediary between both sections. The engine jacket, which also forms the frame of the combustion chamber, is exposed to a very intense heat and pressure force while the engine is running. For this reason, the engine jacket should be checked at regular intervals and renewed if it is no longer usable. Otherwise, the engine liner, which cannot fulfill its function, may directly damage the pistons and the engine, and even cause the engine to stop working. As a result of the engine liner not performing its function, the rings cannot perform their sealing function well enough. Therefore, the engine starts to leak oil. In case of oil leakage, the engine liner should be checked first. If you want to extend the life of the engine liner, there are some points you should pay attention to. The first thing you need to know is the use of oil suitable for the engine. In addition, this oil should be changed at certain kilometers. In this way, the engine liner will not be subjected to unnecessary pressure. Do not forget to add antifreeze to the coolant and at the same time avoid poor quality oil.
