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.
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?
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.

why does the crankshaft have no counter weight?

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