  2. Engine block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_block

    Following that, engines began to combine two or three cylinders into a single-cylinder block, with an engine combining several of these cylinder blocks. In early engines with multiple cylinder banks – such as V6 , V8 , or flat-6 engines – each bank was typically made of one or multiple separate cylinder blocks.

  3. Saginaw Metal Casting Operations - Wikipedia

    The location has been the primary source of engine block and cylinder heads for all of GM's engines, to include Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC for most of the 20th century. The address is 1629 N Washington Ave. Saginaw, MI 48601, and is located on the Saginaw River .

  4. Monobloc engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monobloc_engine

    De Dion-Bouton engine with monobloc cylinder heads, but cylinders separate from crankcase c. 1905 [1]. A monobloc or en bloc engine is an internal-combustion piston engine some of whose major components (such as cylinder head, cylinder block, or crankcase) are formed, usually by casting, as a single integral unit, rather than being assembled later.

  5. Chevrolet small-block engine (first- and second-generation)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_small-block...

    The LS9 and LT9 engines were replaced for 1987 by the L05 TBI (throttle-body fuel injection) engines. Most of the small-block engines in this timeframe were built at either the Flint engine plant in south Flint, Michigan, or at St. Catharines, Ontario. The Flint plant was producing about 5,200 engines per day in the mid-1980s, and had a slower ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_engine_replacement

    Short block 3.5L Rover V8 engine. A short block is an engine sub-assembly comprising the portion of the cylinder block below the head gasket but above the oil pan, [4] which usually includes the assembled engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons with piston rings properly installed. [5]

  7. Oldsmobile V8 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldsmobile_V8_engine

    The Oldsmobile engine block formed the basis of the Repco 3-liter engine used by Brabham to win the 1966 and 1967 Formula One world championships. The early Repco engines produced up to 300 bhp (220 kW), and featured new SOHC cylinder heads and iron cylinder liners. The 1967 and later versions of the Repco engine had proprietary engine blocks.

  8. Compacted graphite iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compacted_graphite_iron

    More recently compacted graphite iron has been used for diesel engine blocks. It has proven to be useful in the manufacture of V topology diesel engines where the loading on the block is very high between the cylinder banks, and for heavy goods vehicles which use diesel engines with high combustion pressures.

  9. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    The base of a reciprocating internal combustion engine is the engine block, which is typically made of cast iron (due to its good wear resistance and low cost) [22] or aluminum. In the latter case, the cylinder liners are made of cast iron or steel, [23] or a coating such as nikasil or alusil. The engine block contains the cylinders.
