  2. Knight engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Engine

    The sleeves are operated by small connecting rods actuated by an eccentric shaft and have ports cut out at their upper ends. The cylinder head (known as the "junk head") is like a fixed, inverted piston with its own set of rings projecting down inside the inner sleeve. The heads are individually detachable for each cylinder.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_valve

    Sleeve valve closeup from a Bristol Centaurus Mark 175. Bristol Perseus. The sleeve valve is a type of valve mechanism for piston engines, distinct from the usual poppet valve. Sleeve valve engines saw use in a number of pre–World War II luxury cars and in the United States in the Willys-Knight car and light truck. They subsequently fell from ...

  4. Cylinder (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_(engine)

    Cylinder liners (also known as sleeves) are thin metal cylinder-shaped parts which are inserted into the engine block to form the inner wall of the cylinder. [4] [5] Alternatively, an engine can be 'sleeveless', where the cylinder walls are formed by the engine block with a wear-resistant coating, such as Nikasil or plasma-sprayed bores.

    The Bristol Hercules is a 14-cylinder two-row radial aircraft engine designed by Sir Roy Fedden and produced by the Bristol Engine Company starting in 1939. It was the most numerous of their single sleeve valve (Burt-McCollum, or Argyll, type) designs, powering many aircraft in the mid-World War II timeframe.

    The engine's prototypes (referred to as AJP-6) were designed and delivered by independent engineer Al Melling (the "A" in AJP) as both 3.0 and 3.5 litre units. [5] Many of its key cylinder head design elements (particularly the valvetrain ) were first seen in the 1991 Suzuki GSX-R750 (M) motorcycle engine (also a Melling design).
