Embodiment Construction

[0024] Figure 1 shows a conventional housing portion 101 of an engine, such an engine cover being configured to attach to and seal another housing portion of the engine. The housing part 101 has a first sealing surface 103 configured to engage a second sealing surface of another housing part in the assembled configuration to form a sealing bond therebetween. In the arrangement shown in FIG. 1 , the first sealing surface 103 comprises a planar surface extending around the periphery of the housing part 101 .

[0025] Housing portion 101 includes a recess 109 (eg, channel) configured to retain a sealant. It is common for automakers to use room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealants to help seal the joints between housing parts. However, groove 109 may be configured to receive any suitable type of sealant. The groove 109 is offset from the peripheral edge of the housing part 101 and extends around the inner edge of the sealing surface 103 . During assembly of housing portion 10...

Abstract

A machinery casing portion for an engine, the machinery casing portion having a first sealing face configured to engage a second sealing face of a second machinery casing portion so as to form a sealed joint therebetween in an assembled configuration, the machinery casing portion comprising: a recess configured to receive a sealant, the recess being provided adjacent to the first sealing face; and at least one opening configured to receive a fastener, wherein the opening at least partially extends into a wall of the recess.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to UK Application No. 1516939.4 filed 24 September 2015, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. technical field [0003] This application relates to a housing part of a machine, and in particular, but not exclusively, to a housing part having a first sealing surface configured to form a sealed joint between the housing part and another housing part . Background technique [0004] It is common for automakers to engineer a part so that it can be used on a range of vehicle platforms. One of the challenges automakers face is how to package the engine in the engine bays of several different vehicles. For example, it can be especially difficult to package a larger engine in the engine compartment of a smaller vehicle. Accordingly, it is desirable to reduce the packaging requirements of the engine so that the engine can be installed in a wider range of vehicle platfo...
