The cylinder block is the supporting structure portion of the engine between
the cylinder head and sump (oil pan). It is traditionally manufactured from cast
iron and was upgraded to a bi-metal block design (aluminum block with inserted
cast iron liners) to reduce weight. Nowadays, newer technology of thermal spray
coating processes on the cylinder bore is being used on aluminum blocks.
ISCAR provides a wide range of standard and special tooling machining
technologies for a variety of block configurations, sizes and materials.
