It is normal for the engine to get very hot after driving for a while. Internal combustion engines generate power through fuel combustion, with instantaneous combustion temperatures reaching over 3000 degrees Celsius, and the engine surface can exceed 200 degrees Celsius. If you suspect any abnormalities, you can check the engine temperature gauge to determine if the engine is overheating. Generally, engine cylinder blocks can be categorized into the following three types: 1. General-type cylinder block: Its characteristic is that the oil pan mounting plane is at the same height as the crankshaft rotation center. The advantages of this type are a smaller body height, lighter weight, compact structure, ease of machining, and convenient crankshaft installation and removal; however, its disadvantages are lower rigidity and strength. 2. Raised-type cylinder block: Its characteristic is that the oil pan mounting plane is lower than the crankshaft rotation center. Its advantages are good strength and rigidity, capable of withstanding greater mechanical loads; however, its disadvantages are poorer manufacturability, a heavier and bulkier structure, and more difficult machining. 3. Tunnel-type cylinder block: This type features an integral main bearing hole for the crankshaft, uses rolling bearings, has larger main bearing holes, and the crankshaft is installed from the rear of the cylinder block. Its advantages are a compact structure, good rigidity and strength; however, its disadvantages are higher machining precision requirements, poorer manufacturability, and inconvenient crankshaft installation and removal.
