Steve,

I learned that this design is known as a "Tunnel Crankcase" and that it's a very highly regarded design dataing back some time to prewar Bentley engines including the Lagonda V12, post war Aston-Martins, and Offenhauser engines. The bearing assemblies are known as "cheeses". Seems Kubota really outdid the competition in adopting this design, and it's one reason why they run forever.
