This paper describes measurement and calculation method for determining pressure on an engine gasket under the static and dynamic condition. At first, the relationship between the strain of the cylinder liner and the pressure on the gasket was determined. Then the strain of the cylinder liner was measured under the static condition as well as under the dynamic condition. The gasket contact pressure was also calculated by computer using FEM model. The calculation results were compared with the measurement results. Finally, the effects of the combustion pressure and heat on the gasket contact pressure were discussed based on the strains.
