The invention relates to a combustion engine comprising a cooling jacket 4 arranged between a cylinder liner 5 and a cylinder block 3 housing the liner 5, which is sealed by a seal element 1 and comprising a cylinder head gasket 8, which is clamped by a contact force (16, fig.6b) between a cylinder head 7 and the cylinder housing 3. Moreover a backup ring 10 is envisaged which at least partially encloses the seal element 1, via which the seal element 1 is deformable by means of the contact force (16, fig.6b) for the cylinder head gasket 8. The seal 1 may be a graphite seal and the backup ring 10 may have a latch element for fixing to a latch area 13 of the cylinder liner 5. The seal can provide a better sealing arrangement across a wider and higher temperature range. |
