70% to passThe lower water seal on a diesel engine wet cylinder liner must allow for liner axial movement. This seal is most commonly a _______________.
Aflexible metallic seal ring
Bneoprene O-ring
Cprecision ground flange joint
Dsoft copper gasket
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) neoprene O-ring. The lower water seal on a diesel engine wet cylinder liner must allow for axial movement of the liner, which is necessary to accommodate thermal expansion. A neoprene O-ring is the most common type of seal used for this purpose, as it is flexible and can compress to permit the required liner movement. The other options are incorrect because: A) a flexible metallic seal ring would not provide the necessary flexibility, C) a precision ground flange joint would not allow for liner movement, and D) a soft copper gasket would not have the compressibility required.
