Abstract:
An internal-combustion engine has a crankcase, with at least one cylinder for accommodating a piston, the inner face of which cylinder is provided with a coating forming a running surface for the piston. The coating has a plurality of pores and the average size of the pores and/or the pore surface proportion varies over the length of the cylinder.
