Abstract
Abstract A lining is provided for an internal combustion engine cylinder in which different degrees of roughness are imparted to those portions of the lands of the liner surface subjected to low and high pressures. The lands of the low pressure portions of the cylinder liner have a high degree of roughness for providing lubrication pockets for cooling the compression rings and for providing lapping of the rings during break-in so as to conform those surfaces in relative movement with each other. The lands of the high pressure portions of the cylinder liner have a low degree of roughness for reducing the oil retaining capacity thereof adjacent the combustion chamber for in turn eliminating the burning of lubricating oil while simultaneously presenting a relatively smooth surface to the compression rings during the time they are under high pressure in order to eliminate cocking of the rings and scoring of the liner.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
In an internal combustion engine cylinder of the character described which provides enhanced wear characteristics and reduced lubrication oil consumption, said internal combustion engine cylinder having a bore extending therethrough, the combination which comprises a liner disposed in said bore and extending over the entire surface area thereof, and the degree of roughness of the lands of said liner surface in the high pressure end of said cylinder being lowEr than the degree of roughness in the low pressure end thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
In an internal combustion engine cylinder of the character described which provides enhanced wear characteristics and reduced lubrication oil consumption, said internal combustion engine cylinder having a bore extending therethrough, the combination which comprises a liner disposed in said bore and extending over the entire surface area thereof, and the degree of roughness of the lands of said liner surface in the high pressure end of said cylinder being lowEr than the degree of roughness in the low pressure end thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
An internal combustion engine cylinder as claimed in claim 1 in which said liner is metallic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
An internal combustion engine cylinder as claimed in claim 1 in which the roughness of the lands of the said liner surface in the high pressure end of the said cylinder is within the range of between about 0.025-0.375 microns root mean square.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
An internal combustion engine cylinder as claimed in claim 1 in which the roughness of the lands of the said liner surface in the low pressure end of said cylinder is within the range of between about 0.375-2.0 microns root mean square.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
74 words
An internal combustion engine cylinder as claimed in Claim 1 in which the roughness of the lands of the said liner surface in the high pressure end of said cylinder is within the range of between about 0.025-0.375 microns root mean square, and the roughness of the lands of the said liner surface in the low pressure end of the said cylinder is within the range of between about 0.375-2.0 microns root mean square.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
