The document discusses the components and construction of internal combustion engines. It describes the cylinder block, which forms the base of the engine and houses the cylinders. Cylinder liners are discussed as being made of alloy cast iron to line the cylinders and provide wear resistance. Wet liners are described as having direct contact with cooling water, while dry liners only contact the cylinder block. The cylinder block and liners function to support moving parts and conduct heat to the cooling system.
