Toyota Engine 1C 2C 3C Cylinder Liner 11461-64090

What is a cylinder liner?

It is a cylinder that is fitted to the engine block to form the cylinder, and is one critical function part that forms the engine interior.
In Japan they are usually called Cylinder Liners, but some countries (companies) call them Cylinder Sleeves.

The engine's cylinder wall is high temperature/high pressure, and the Piston Ring/piston is sliding at high speed, and particularly with truck/bus engines a long-life is demanded, so we use highly friction resistant casting material Cylinder Liners only for cylinders. Also, in recent years, to make engines light-weight, engine blocks are changing from casting to aluminum alloys, however, aluminum alloys suffer deformation and friction during direct sliding when used for the cylinder inner circumference, therefore, the aluminum die cast block is mainly used where the Cylinder Liner is cast-in.

How to use Cylinder Liner

Using a cylinder liner is a straightforward process that can be done by following a few simple steps. First, ensure that the engine is cool and disconnected from any power source before beginning the installation process. Next, carefully remove the old cylinder liner from the engine block, taking care not to damage any surrounding components.

Once the old cylinder liner has been removed, clean the engine block thoroughly to remove any debris or residue. Then, carefully insert the new cylinder liner into the engine block, making sure that it is properly aligned and seated securely. Finally, reassemble any components that were removed during the installation process and ensure that everything is tightened and secure before starting the engine.

Precautions of Cylinder Liner

While cylinder liners offer numerous benefits, it is important to take certain precautions to ensure their proper functioning and longevity. One important precaution to keep in mind is to always use high-quality cylinder liners that are compatible with your specific engine model. Using the wrong type of cylinder liner can result in poor performance and potential damage to the engine.

Additionally, it is important to regularly inspect and maintain the cylinder liner to ensure that it is in good condition. Look for signs of wear or damage, such as scoring or pitting on the surface of the liner, and replace it if necessary. Proper lubrication is also essential to prevent excessive friction and heat buildup, so be sure to use the recommended lubricants and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance.
