An oblong-shaped rotor engine with improved high sealing performance includes an upper end cover, a lower end cover, a rotor, three combustion chambers, three isolation zones, a fuel spray ignition unit, a sealing pin row and an eccentric driving shaft, a sealing pin row, which seals the transition zone between different combustion cylinders, wherein the engine according to this invention can better avoid the effect of structural wear, effectively enhance the sealing performance between combustion chambers and abate gas leakage between cylinders, wherein the designed profile and sealing means can enlarge the design error margin for engines, abate the processing difficulty of engines, and effectively decrease the production costs of engines.

An insert for an engine block and systems, assemblies, components, and methods thereof can comprise a ring-shaped body having an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The inner surface can having one or more sealing grooves adapted to receive and retain respective sealing rings. A maximum outer diameter of the ring-shaped body can be defined by the outer surface and can be greater than a height of the ring-shaped body in a longitudinal direction of the ring-shaped body.

An engine head gasket includes a base layer, an upper layer, and a lower layer. The base layer includes a base layer inner edge. The engine head gasket further includes an anti-preignition wrap defining a cylinder opening and wrapped around the base layer inner edge. The engine head gasket is configured with a combustion seal and selective thicknesses to direct a combustion sealing load to a cylinder block. The anti-preignition wrap shields angular corners of the base layer inner edge from a cylinder to limit preignition.

A cylinder head gasket with a carrier layer and at least one inserted sealing element, wherein the inserted sealing element has a passage opening for combustion gas, the inserted sealing element is fastened on the carrier layer on an outer side which is spaced apart from the passage opening, and the inserted sealing element has at least a first layer and at least one further layer. An engine component comprising the cylinder head gasket is disclosed, the engine component having an engine block unit, a cylinder sleeve unit which delimits the engine block unit at least in regions from a combustion chamber, and a cylinder head unit, wherein the cylinder head gasket is arranged between the cylinder head unit on one hand and the engine block unit and the cylinder sleeve unit on the other hand.

A funnel or drain back seal and systems, assemblies, components, kits, and methods thereof can comprise a body defining an opening that extends from a top of the body to a bottom of the body; a head portion that extends outward from the top of the body; and a flap or lip that extends outward from the bottom of the body. The opening can be adapted to pass draining oil from the top of the body to the bottom of the body for supply into an engine block.

A piston includes a swirl pocket that extends radially from the radially outer lip portion to a lower axial extremity spaced away from the radially outer lip portion a first axial distance. A convex arcuate surface extends downwardly and inwardly from the radially outer lip portion, a concave arcuate surface extends to the lower axial extremity from the convex arcuate surface, and a conical portion extends upwardly and inwardly from the concave arcuate surface to an apex that is spaced a second axial distance from the radially outer lip portion that is less than the first axial distance.

A gasket for a combustion chamber is provided. The gasket comprises a plated surface extending across at least a portion of the metal base. In the gasket, at least a portion of the plated surface includes a laser treated section with a first raised surface that protrudes away from the metal base and the laser treated section is arranged in a mid-span that is arranged between two cylinder openings.

A cylinder head assembly includes a cylinder head having a top deck, a fire deck, and an igniter post extending upward from the fire deck. An igniter sleeve is within an igniter bore in the cylinder head and includes a locating surface clamped against an upward facing stop surface of the cylinder head. A tip coolant clearance is defined axially between a sleeve tip and the fire deck, and a body coolant clearance is defined peripherally between the igniter sleeve and the cylinder head and is continuously circumferential of the igniter sleeve axially between the sleeve tip and a coolant cavity formed in the cylinder head.

An upper gasket member includes an upper base portion of an annular flat plate, an upper outer periphery portion diagonally extending to an upper side from an outer periphery edge portion of the upper base portion, and an upper outer periphery side annular portion of an annular flat plate extending in an extension direction of the upper base portion from an outer periphery edge portion of the upper outer periphery portion. Further, a lower gasket member includes a lower base portion of an annular flat plate, a lower outer periphery portion diagonally extending to a lower side from an outer periphery edge portion of the lower base portion, and a lower outer periphery side annular portion of an annular flat plate extending in an extension direction of the lower base portion from an outer periphery edge portion of the lower outer periphery portion.

A component comprises a mounting surface to male with another component, a seal channel extending into the mounting surface, and retention tabs extending into the seal channel at or below the mounting surface, wherein the retention tabs are spaced from each other about a perimeter of the seal channel. A method for manufacturing a component comprises producing a component with a seal channel in a flat mate face and mounds of material adjacent the seal channel that extend away from the flat mate face, and deforming the mounds of material to form retention tabs extending into the seal channel.
