Intloko ye-cylinder nayo ixhotyiswe ngezihlalo ze-valve zokungena kunye ne-exhaust, imingxuma yesikhokelo se-valve yokufaka i-inlet kunye ne-exhaust valves, kunye nemigudu yokungena kunye nemijelo yokukhupha. Intloko ye-cylinder ye-injini yepetroli ifakwe umngxuma wokufaka i-spark plug, ngelixa intloko ye-cylinder ye-injini ye-diesel ifakwe umngxuma wokufaka i-injector ye-fuel. Intloko ye-cylinder ye-injini ye-camshaft engaphezulu nayo yenziwe ngomatshini we-camshaft ophethe umngxuma wokuxhoma i-camshaft.
Intloko yesilinda ngokuqhelekileyo iphoswe ngentsimbi engwevu okanye i-alloy cast iron, kunye ne-thermal conductivity ye-aluminium alloy ilungile, ehambelana nokuphucula umlinganiselo woxinzelelo.
Intloko yesilinda yinxalenye yegumbi lokutsha, imilo yegumbi lokutsha inefuthe elikhulu kumsebenzi wenjini, ngenxa yeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokutsha zeenjini zepetroli kunye neenjini zedizili, iinxalenye zegumbi lokutsha kwi-cylinder. intloko yahlukile. Igumbi lokutsha leenjini zepetroli likwintloko yesilinda, ngelixa igumbi lokutsha leenjini zedizili likumngxuma ongaphezulu kwepiston.
