Return of the Opposed Piston Engine

@c.captain

miserable oil spewing infernal machines! and the need to lift the upper crankshaft each time a liner or piston needs replacing just adds to the stoopidity of them. fine if it is a Navy vessel with dozens and dozens of 20 year old kids to do that grunt wrenching but no old man should ever be inflicted with such labors

Regardless of whatever experience you’ve had on these engines, you will not find many other engines with a higher power to weight ratio. One of the considerable advantages these engines enjoy.
