Abstract
A reciprocating engine has two cylinder banks arranged in a V-shape and a grear drive which originates from the crankshaft and leads to a drive shaft connected with the clutch as well as to camshafts and liquid pumps for cooling water and lubricating oil of the engine. The gear drive is designed such that the crankshaft, the camshafts and liquid pumps rotate in one rotating direction, and the output shaft and the clutch rotate in the other rotating direction.
