16 CYLINDER BLOCK ASSEMBLY
General description
The cylinder block is made of cast iron and
provides a full length support for the dry liners
which are also made of cast iron. Production liners
are a press fit in the block and service liners are a
transition fit. Both types of liners are honed with
silicon carbide tools to a controlled finish to ensure
long life and low oil consumption. The cylinder
liners fitted to some engines have a flame ring
above the flange. A bush is fitted in the cylinder
block for the front camshaft journal and the other
camshaft journals run directly in the block.
