ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine in which first and second elongate blocks of identical structure are axially aligned and held in longitudinally spaced relationship by a generally cylindrical connector. The first and second blocks cooperate to define a number of axially aligned cylinders, each of which has a double ended piston slidably mounted therein, and each of which piston supports a pair of cam engaging members. A drive shaft is rotatably supported in the first and second blocks, which drive shaft supports a force receiving cam that is engaged by the pairs of members on the pistons, with the cam situated within the confines of the connector. First and second circumferentially extending fuel intake chambers are defined in the first and second blocks, with each being fed fuel from opposite sides thereof, and force being sequentially applied to the pistons by exploding a fuel charge in first one end of each cylinder and then the opposite end thereof, and the pistons as they move in response to the explosion of the fuel charges imparting rotary motion of the cam to rotate the drive shaft. Coolant is discharged into opposite sides of the coolant chamber to more effectively cool the engine. Accessories are preferably disposed in a housing that is interchangeable with a forwardly disposed bullet nose shaped valve cover through which the drive shaft extends to a power take off. Lubrication is pressure fed and is through the drive shaft that is hollow. Should it be desired the engine may be used with but a single block.
