Abstract
A unitary combustion deck for an internal combustion engine includes a main body portion having a cylinder-facing surface and a coolant-side facing surface. The combustion deck further includes a plurality of bolt bosses which are integrally cast as part of the coolant-side surface and each bolt boss defines a bolt-receiving aperture which extends through the main body portion and which is designed to receive a mounting bolt for securing the combustion deck to a cylinder block for sealing against the leakage of combustion gases. Further included as part of the combustion deck is a load distribution rib which is constructed and arranged to extend in a ring-like form around the at least one cylinder while integrally connecting with each bolt boss of the plurality of bolt bosses.
