SAVING POWER , REDUCING EMISSIONS

Small but significant , cylinder liners play an integral part in engine efficiency , GOETZE explains .
Around 15 % of total energy loss in an engine is attributed to mechanical power loss . Approximately half of this loss is caused by friction in the piston-liner system . Thus , the smoother the cylinder liner , the more efficient the engine , and the lower the emissions .
SMOOTH OPERATOR
Goetze has continually led the way in cylinder liner development and innovation for a number of years . Advanced manufacturing technology is used to build liners with a special alloy . This provides superior bonding , reduced distortion and improved oil economy . The liners are finely ground and bore machined with micron precision . This ensures exceptional smoothness and minimum friction .
The improved strength of Goetze cylinder liners presents benefits such as , excellent run-in and high oil retention . At the same time , ring and bore wear are reduced , helping to deliver optimum performance , even in extreme running conditions . Finally , Goetze liners help lower emissions due to their high conformity , superior heat dissipation and exceptionally smooth surface topography .
MATCHING QUALITY
More than 350 Goetze cylinder liners are available from FPS . Each liner provides a perfect fit for more than 6,000 different engine applications .
The range is manufactured to OE specifications and designed to function at their optimum when combined with Goetze piston rings .
Working together , these two components create a reliable seal which cuts emissions by minimising friction and lowering oil consumption , even in the most aggressive operating conditions . This in turn , helps prolong engine life .
HARD TO BEAT . EASY TO FIND .
The 2016-2017 edition of the Goetze cylinder liner catalogue is a significant update from its predecessor that was published in 2003 , by Federal-Mogul . This imperative update was timely because of the expanding number of cylinder liners available in the aftermarket today .
The 430-page catalogue features over 900 additional TecDoc engine links that are referenced with the Federal-Mogul classification and index system to make it quicker and easier to locate the right liner . The Goetze cylinder liner catalogue is published in digital format to provide the user the option to print in full , or select the most relevant pages to print .
