Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An internal combustion engine, including a pair of opposed pistons, a pair of opposed cylinders, and an output shaft, wherein each of the pistons is arranged for reciprocating motion within a respective one of the cylinders, driven by combustion, and the pistons are coupled to the output shaft by a coupling such that said reciprocating motion of the pistons drives rotation of the output shaft, wherein the coupling includes a unitary connecting rod coupled to the opposed pistons, the connecting rod having side guides for guiding a slider bearing located for reciprocating movement relative to the connecting rod, and the coupling further includes a crankshaft rotatably mounted within the slider bearing, the crankshaft having at least one guide shoulder for supporting axial location relative to the slider bearing.
