In a cylinder with a cylinder surface receiving a piston the cylinder surface has at least two zones with different oil retention capabilities; sectors having a relatively high oil retention capability are disposed in areas of the cylinder surface which are subjected to relatively high radial pressure forces while the other areas have only a relatively low oil retention capability. The oil retention sectors have a width which changes over their axial length so as to provide only a surface area with increased oil retention capability as needed to accommodate high radial pressure forces of the piston while the rest of the cylinder surface has a low oil retention capability to eliminate unnecessary oil consumption and engine emissions. |
