Cylinder liner for Iveco 697

The cylinder liner 14-020230-00 serves as the replaceable internal wall for the engine cylinder. It is inserted into the engine block to provide a defined surface for the piston to travel against during operation. By acting as a barrier, the liner protects the engine block from the direct mechanical friction of the piston rings and the thermal stress of the combustion process. It also facilitates the transfer of heat from the combustion chamber to the engine cooling system.

This component is compatible with the Iveco 697 engine. It is designed to maintain a seal with the piston rings to preserve compression and prevent the leakage of combustion gases or oil into the crankcase. Proper fitment of the liner is necessary to ensure the engine operates within its specified parameters.

In internal combustion engines, cylinder liners are used to manage the interface between the moving piston assembly and the stationary block. They allow for the restoration of the cylinder bore diameter during engine overhauls without requiring the replacement of the entire engine block. The liner must be installed to ensure correct alignment with the connecting rod and piston assembly to prevent premature wear.
