1. cylinder block

   In an internal combustion engine, the engine block is the structure which contains the cylinders and other components. In an early automotive engine, the engine block consisted of just the cylinder block, to which a separate crankcase was attached. Modern engine blocks typically have the crankcase integrated with the cylinder block as a single component. Engine blocks often also include elements such as coolant passages and oil galleries. The term "cylinder block" is often used interchangeably with "engine block", although technically, the block of a modern engine (i.e. multiple cylinders integrated with another component) would be classified as a monobloc.

1. cylinder block

   A cylinder block is a key component of an internal combustion engine. It is a large metal structure that contains the engine's cylinders, as well as other parts such as coolant passages, oil passages, and more. Its main function is to securely contain the combustion process in order to convert fuel into mechanical energy. The number and arrangement of cylinders in the block can vary, influencing the power and smoothness of the engine.

1. Cylinder block

   A cylinder block is an integrated structure comprising the cylinder of a reciprocating engine and often some or all of their associated surrounding structures. The term engine block is often used synonymously with "cylinder block". In the basic terms of machine elements, the various main parts of an engine are conceptually distinct, and these concepts can all be instantiated as discrete pieces that are bolted together. Such construction was very widespread in the early decades of the commercialization of internal combustion engines, and it is still sometimes used in certain applications where it remains advantageous. However, it is no longer the normal way of building most petrol engines and diesel engines, because for any given engine configuration, there are more efficient ways of designing for manufacture. These generally involve integrating multiple machine elements into one discrete part, and doing the making for multiple elements in one setup with one machine coordinate system. This yields lower unit cost of production.
