Cylinder liner for Mercedes-Benz OM352

The cylinder liner 14-012260-00 serves as a critical internal component for the Mercedes-Benz OM352 engine. This cylindrical sleeve is inserted into the engine block to create a controlled environment for the piston to travel, facilitating the compression and combustion cycles. By acting as the interface between the moving piston and the engine block, the liner helps manage the thermal transfer from the combustion chamber to the cooling system, ensuring that the engine maintains its intended operating temperatures during use.

This component is engineered specifically for fitment in the Mercedes-Benz OM352 engine. It provides the necessary geometry to maintain cylinder wall integrity and supports the piston rings as they seal the combustion chamber. When installed during engine maintenance or rebuilds, this liner helps restore the internal dimensions of the cylinder, which is necessary for maintaining consistent compression levels and preventing oil bypass into the combustion area. Proper installation of the liner ensures that the piston assembly operates with the correct clearance within the engine block.
