He said there is an internal oil passage inside the crankcase to oil the connecting rod bearings. I believe he meant to say the internal passage is inside the crankshaft.
Good afternoon I am trying to gather as much info on the OX5 And Wow what a great vidio. I plane on building a 1/4 scale in my shop. Have you made your sec. vidio. I cant wait to see how the valve train works. I have been a aircraft nut since the days of sky king. I have work on many antique and classic planes and I am a member of NWACC. I have even work on a OX5 powered 1917 jenny Looking for all info on OX5 engine that I can find. Thank you Chuck.
A million years ago, when I was a teen and hanging around my science teacher's shop....he was restoring an OX-5. He told me he discovered old Cadillac automobile engine parts would fit the OX-5 with very little modification. I can't remember if it was pistons or valves or both. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Hello, is it possible to show the complete inlet valve drive?
Thanks

why does the crankshaft have no counter weight?
These engines ran at low RPM's, dynamic balance wasn't considered critical at those speeds.
I imagine many of these fell victim to the scrap metal drives of ww2
"Like any normal V8 crankshaft" ...Not! That's a 180 deg crank like an inline 4 cylinder not like production V8 90 deg crank.
