Abstract
The crankcase is the central component of the combustion engine, containing and connecting the functional groups of the crank mechanism, and forms a system boundary that seals off the combustion engine externally. It prevents exit of the working medium, coolant, and lubricant, and the entry of moisture and dirt. The crankcase must make use of the available installation space with the prerequisite of sufficient structural stiffness and with respect to the shape accuracy of the bearing and cylinder bores as well as the cylinder fit (for replaceable cylinder liners), with component mass as low as possible.
