Abstract

An internal combustion engine has a cylinder liner arranged in the cylinder. A piston moves reciprocatingly in a direction of the longitudinal cylinder axis in the cylinder and is guided within the cylinder liner across a section of a movement path of the piston in the cylinder. A combustion chamber disposed in the cylinder is delimited by the piston. In a crankcase, a crankshaft is rotatably supported by a crankshaft bearing, wherein the crankshaft is driven in rotation by the piston about an axis of rotation of the crankshaft. A position of the cylinder liner relative to the crankcase is secured with form fit by a securing element located at an end face of the cylinder liner that is facing the crankcase. No loads are transmitted into the cylinder liner from the crankshaft bearing through the end face of the cylinder liner that is facing the crankcase.
