The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for counteracting the occurrence of tensile stresses in at least one region (12-15) of an engine block (2), which engine block (2) incorporates at least one removable element. Such an element may be a main-bearing cap (9). Said element is intended, in a state whereby it is connected to the engine block (2), to create compressive stresses in said region (12-15). These compressive stresses will thus counteract tensile stresses which occur in the region during operation of the engine. |
