This outstanding engine offers the greatest degree of efficiency, durability and refinement. The engine can be constructed in either aluminium alloy or cast iron construction depending on the original requirements The specific fuel consumption rate of the engine when directly coupled to the dynamometer is the remarkably low value of 0.360 lb./per b.h.p./hour. It was common in trucks and used regularly in prestigious yachts and vessels of the time. It is a very smooth engine owing to no two pistons being at the top of the stroke at the same time.
It is commonly used in classic yachts and workboats, and was also installed in trucks and busses in the automotive industry.
