Always wondered about this :
In a boxer style twin , like the 32Hp 3W-342 ; why are the pistons , and
connection rods , staggered slightly and use two bearings
on the crankshaft ? Why can ya just use one bearing on the crankshaft
and let the postons and connecting rods counterbalance each other ?
Couldn't ya get rid of the counterbalance weights on the crankshaft, that
way ?

BTW -- there use to be a company that made a reduction for that
engine ; for use on ultralights !
