Neat! One glance from any direction would tell if oil was needed. Have to wonder why the very long cylinder skirts, unless it was an extremely long-throw engine: those cylinders look tall enough already. |

Robert, it's a two stroke open case engine, it has to have a packing gland below the piston, this means the piston doesn't have a wrist pin. I would guess there's a crosshead arrangement in the lower part of the cylinder with a wrist pin. The Bobmbshell is a similar design, they let the rod extend into a bushing at the base and used double connecting rods for even distribution. |
