Abstract
A piston engine described allows identical cylinder heads rather than requiring mirror image left and right heads. The engine has front and rear sides, with engine block containing two opposing cylinder banks. Identical heads mounted on block, with overhead camshaft structures in each head. Crankshaft between banks has front and rear gears. At rear is reverse-rotation gear mechanism with internal and external gears. External gear engages crankshaft's rear gear. First chain connects reverse-rotation internal gear to first camshaft sprocket on one head at rear. Second chain connects crankshaft's front gear to second camshaft sprocket on other head at front. Allows driving overhead camshafts of identical heads rather than requiring left and right mirror image heads.
