Abstract
The present invention is an internal combustion engine composed of a plurality of cylinders arranged into banks. Located near the mid-point of each bank of cylinders is a section formed with passages that are configured to provide distribution and recovery of cooling and lubrication fluids. This section is located such that the path of these fluids begins and ends at a mid-point so as to provide a shortened path across each half of the bank of cylinders within which the section is located.
