Unusual but efficient Guzzi engine runs backwards for definite purpose. Oil is thrown to top of cylinder wall, then runs by gravity to lower surface. Result: better cooling.

Reversed engine allows engine gear to drive clutch gear direct in correct rotational direction, eliminating noisy idler gear (note- no primary chain). Oil is under pressure to mains and rod, then surplus oil is thrown off to transmission gears. Cool, clean, fresh oil is pumped to engine, gear box and primary from one main oil tank. Outside flywheel allows rigid narrow crankcase. Horizontal cylinder creates equal cooling air flow.
