The oscillation damper is screw-attached to the polygon hub.
The rear and front crankshaft seal consists of a liptype seal-

the pulley.
The upper end of the connecting rods is trapezoidal in

The pistons are made of aluminum alloy, have three piston
rings and an inner oil drilling for cooling purposes.
