The piston crown is stabilized along the longitudinal cylinder axis by a rail guide. Connecting rods are provided which require less than one hundred eighty degrees (180.degree.) circumference of a crankshaft pin for support so that a plurality of connecting rods can be associated with a single crankshaft pin. A tabbed bearing fits under the plurality of connecting rods to provide lubrication between the connecting rods and the crankshaft pin. Connecting rods are held to the crankshaft pin by a circular retaining ring. The engine provides a separate cylinder head and cylinder which are attached via a circular deformable retaining band to form a metal to metal seal. The engine provides an independent lubrication system in each engine. Coolant or lubricant is provided to each engine in parallel so that the temperature of the coolant entering each engine is the same. A large diameter modular crankshaft is provided.

Further, the cam lobe of each cam is formed such that side portions thereof are asymmetrical with respect to a center line of the cam for favorably affecting valve opening and closing timings. In addition, an improved lubricating arrangement for enhancing smooth operation and improved engine performance.

Abstract: A modified camshaft and a modified cam follower control valve overlap and vary intake and exhaust valve opening and closing in a reciprocating piston engine. The camshaft and cam follower are modified to cause the intake valve of a piston cylinder to open at top dead center and close at bottom dead center of the intake stroke of a piston. The exhaust valve is caused to open at bottom dead center and close at top dead center to the exhaust stroke of the piston. The modification of a camshaft includes the shaping and spacing of the cam lobes to achieve, in conjunction with a modified cam follower, a desired duration and initiation of valve opening. The modification of the cam follower includes a novel shaping of the lower portion of a cam follower.
