Want this question answered?
There is an engine block which houses all the moving parts of an internal combustion engine, and a cylinder which is a part of that block, the cylinder is where the piston moves inside and where combustion takes place.
Frame, barrel and cylinder
You mean HOLE in the block? Basically, a catastrophic failure of internal rotating parts. Another engine would usually be required.
to hold all the reciprocating and rotating parts together in something that most refer to as an "engine"
The main parts of the reciprocating engine are the crankshaft and pistons. They reciprocate in the cylinder block.
sealing and covering the cylinder block is the main function of CHC. In some type the cylinder head cover is integrated with air cleaner and air intake manifold.
engine block, piston, cylinder head, cylinder liner, camshaft, crankshaft, valves, crankcase/sump, inlet manifold, exhaust manifold, cylinder head cover
Engine is a device that can convert chemical energy to mechanical energy. Since this device works mechanically, it composed of several parts that work together during the operation. Parts are either stationary or non stationary, meaning some parts are moving and some are not moving. There are also parts that are fixed to the body yet have the vital role for engine operation. Engine can be divided into three main parts, the cylinder head block, cylinder block and oil pan. This means an engine can be disassembled into three divisions. Each main part have several parts are attached to form as an assembly. Cylinder block is the foundation of the engine. It is mostly made of cast iron or iron mixed with other metals such as nickel and chromium. Cylinder block has large holes for the cylinder bores. Attached to the block is the crankshaft, connecting rod, piston with rings, oil pump, water pump, timing gears, flywheel, bearings, oil seals, piston liners, camshaft in some engine and drilled oil passages with oil filter. Cylinder head block is made of cast from cast iron or aluminum alloy. Parts attached to cylinder head block are valves, valve spring, valve guide, valve seat, rocker arm assembly, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, overhead camshaft, spark plug, fixed machined or drilled parts like water jackets, oil galleries, intake and exhaust ports. Oil pan is made of plastic or metal. Pan is shape to fit the bottom of the cylinder block. Oil strainer and oil drain plug are attached to this part.

Static equipment is equipment with no moving parts, such as a steam ejector. Rotating equipment has moving parts. An example of rotating equipment is a compressor.
A bare cylinder block does not contain any other parts. Assuming it is an internal combustion crankshaft/camshaft style engine it should have the following:cylinderscrankshaft journalscamshaft journalsmating surfaces for necessary components such as cylinder heads, oil pan, exhaust and intake manifolds, and etc.drilled/tapped holes for the necessary fasteners (bolts/studs)other holes/passages as neededNote: Cylinder heads usually contain the exhaust and intake manifold mating surfaces.
the parts of the cylinder are the base and axis
