hasDefinitionA 2-stroke diesel engine with crosshead and piston rod design. These type of motors have a stuffing box around the piston rod preventing combusting products from contaminating the crankcase oil system. The air in the space between the piston and the diaphragm carrying the stuffing box is displaced by the descending piston into the cylinder through the intake ports as they are uncovered by the piston.
