The crankshaft is supported by five main bearings. The lower head of the connecting rod is mounted on the connecting rod bearings, and the upper one is connected to the pistons by piston pins with a fixed fit. Each piston has two compression rings and one oil scraper ring.
The camshaft, mounted on bearings in the cylinder block, is driven by a chain from the crankshaft, and actuates the valves through tappets and rocker arms. The valves are closed by a single valve spring and operate in guides mounted in the cylinder head. The oil pump is mounted on the cylinder block and is driven by the camshaft. On engines with a carburetor, the fuel pump is also driven from the camshaft via an eccentric cam.
