Wet liner cylinder blocks use cylinder walls that are entirely removable and fit into the block using special gaskets. They are called "wet liners" because their outer sides come in direct contact with the engine's coolant. In other words, the liner is the entire cylinder wall, rather than merely a sleeve.
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 ...
The liners were only loosely installed into the block with hand pressure. The sealing of the liners into the engine block was at the bottom by a pair of soft metal "spectacle washers" [4] that each sealed a pair of liners. Each liner stood slightly proud of the cylinder block face. [5] so that it formed a good seal against the head gasket when ...
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.
It is predominantly known for its use in coating the cylinder bores of an internal combustion engine, enabling the construction of aluminium engine blocks without cast iron cylinder sleeves. The inventors of PTWA received the 2009 IPO National Inventor of the Year award. [ 1 ]

The cost of the replacement component (i.e. the head gasket itself) is usually relatively low, however there are significant labor costs involved in the replacement process. [6] This is because the process of removing and replacing the cylinder head is a time-consuming task.
Blown head gasket at the hottest location between two siamesed cylinders Gasket with a cooling channel between the two bores. Siamesed cylinders are engine cylinders arranged in such a way that they have no channels between them to allow water or other coolant to circulate. [1] [2]
