The crankcase is of aluminum, andthe aluminum oil pan is bolted to it. The flywheel hous-ing is cast integral with the crankcase and oil pan. Theengine has a three-bearing crankshaft, 2% in. in diam-eter. The end thrust of the crankshaft is taken on thefront bearing and an adjustment for end play is pro-vided. The reciprocating parts are completely machinedfor balance, and both the pistons and connecting rodsare of extra length to reduce side thrust per unit ofbearing surface on the cylinder wall. Each piston isequipped with four % in. piston rings. The gear train at the front end of the engine consistsof four instead of the conventional three gears. The.
