The cost of fuel and materials in all sectors is rising day by day. In the IC engine, the engine fails primarily because the heat transfer from the cylinder wall to the ambient air is inadequate. Heat is derived from the cylinder wall in the engine by means of convection heat transfer through the fins. In this study, a 3-dimensional numerical (3-D) transient thermal state simulation was used to investigate the heat dissipation of the engine cylinder fin with holes of different shapes (hexagonal and an elliptical). ANSYS 17.0 simulation software was used to research the physiognomy of the heat transfer physiognomies of an engine cylinder fin with and without hole. The results indicate that, the fin with an elliptic hole attain a temperature of 797.94 °C at 14 seconds in comparison to other where with hexagonal hole 798.02 °C, and without hole 798.14°C. So above values clearly shows that fin with an elliptic hole dissipates more heat as compare to fin with hexagonal hole or without hole. Fin with an elliptic hole have a total heat flux of 56122 W/m² comparison to other where with hexagonal hole 49967 W/m², and without hole 46704 W/m². From the above results it is clearly shows that, the new proposed shape fin or fin configuration will greatly improve the heat transfer rate and increase the fin efficiency. Optimum results are obtained when we provide an elliptic hole in an engine cylinder fin
