Name the type of cylinder liner marked ‘X’ Correct Answer Wet

Liners: A liner is a thin cast iron circular shell which is centrifugally cast. It contains chromium for hardness. It protects the cylinder block from rapid wear and damage due to combustion. The life of the cylinder block is increased by using a liner since the block does not bear combustion pressure and temperature directly.

Types of Liners:

Dry Type: In the dry type liner, the cooling water of the engine does not come in direct contact with the liner. These liners have an interference fit with a cylinder block.

Wet Type: In a wet type liner, the liners are in direct contact with the cooling water. Wet type liners are loose in the cylinder block and these are supported between a recess in the block and the cylinder head
