Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for coatings of a portion of an engine block shaping a combustion chamber. In one example, the engine block includes a first coating with a thermal conductivity higher than a conductivity of the engine block arranged in an upper region of the combustion chamber and a second coating with a thermal conductivity lower than the conductivity of the engine block arranged in a lower region of the combustion chamber, and where the second coating touches the first coating.
