Pre-cast modules which contain the mold cavities and other interconnections for coolant, oil and gas are operatively connected to the longitudinal headers and can be added or removed in building block fashion. Also disclosed is an oil delivery system and a gas delivery system wherein longitudinally oriented oil and gas passageways are included within the longitudinal headers.
