This is a single block in iron with a high mechanical resistance.
The crankshaft is supported by five main supports which also house the same number of bearing halves with thin shells.
The cylinder liners are the integral type. Grooving in the walls of the block allow circulation of engine coolant and lubricating oil.
The letters showing which class the cylinder liners belong to are printed on the block in the position shown in the figure below.
It is installed on the frame by suspension type mounts and fixed by two elastic damping supports at the front and by an elastic damping fork type support at the rear.
