In this second installment of our spotlight on Goetze engine products, we turn our focus to one of the core components in any combustion engine: cylinder liners. Known for their durability and OE-grade, Goetze cylinder liners are trusted by overhaul professionals worldwide.

What Exactly is a Cylinder Liner?

Cylinder liners are the running surface for the pistons in an engine. They must be able to withstand high pressure, extreme heat, and constant friction. More importantly, they help transfer the heat generated during combustion to the engine's cooling system.

There are two types of cylinder liners: wet liners and dry liners. A wet liner is in direct contact with the coolant. These are sealed in the engine block with bushing rings. Dry liners are press-fitted into an existing cylinder bore in the engine block.

The advantage of this is that when the existing cylinder bore is worn or damaged, it can be bored out and a new cylinder liner can be pressed into it. This allows the standard piston to be used.

This method restores the engine’s integrity and functionality without requiring a full engine block replacement. And this saves you time, material, and money.

Used in everything from gasoline to diesel and industrial applications, liners offer flexibility in engine design and maintenance while extending engine service life.

Goetze Cylinder Liners are built For Durability

Goetze manufactures both dry and wet cylinder liners to meet the needs of a wide range of engine types. Each liner is built with high-grade cast iron or steel alloy and produced to OE-level tolerances, ensuring a precise fit and long-lasting performance.

Advanced manufacturing techniques and surface treatments improve durability, reduce oil consumption, and provide resistance to scratches and wear. Whether you are overhauling a passenger car engine or a heavy-duty diesel engine, Goetze offers consistent, reliable products.

Common Cylinder Liner Failures and How Goetze Prevents Them

Over time, cylinder liners can fail due to several causes:

• Corrosion due to contamination or use of an incorrect coolant
  
• Wear due to accumulation of soot particles as a result of poor combustion
  
• Overheating due to poor coolant flow or thermal fatigue
  
• Cavitation or exhaustion due to imbalances in the cooling system
  

Goetze combats these problems with the best material choices, precise wall thickness control, optimized design for the best cooling, and thorough finishing. The result is a liner that not only lasts longer but also performs better under extreme conditions.
