Abstract
A cylinder liner associated with an internal combustion engine includes a cooling moat to reduce temperatures at an upper cylinder liner seal. The cooling moat may have a gap extending upwardly toward an inner running surface of the cylinder liner to supply coolant to an upper portion of the cylinder liner. The cooling moat may be provided at a location between the inner running surface of the cylinder liner and a groove for the upper cylinder liner seal.
