Jeff,
Many of the WWII U. S. Navy fleet submarines used Fairbanks Morse  opposed 
piston diesel engines.  They were 2 cycle with two crankshafts  which were timed 
together with a shaft.  The upper crankshaft  turned the scavenger blower and 
the lower one turned the generator.  The  engine frame was made of  welded  
plates and after fabrication  the assembly was annealed.  If you would like 
more information, go to this  site:
