Excelsior 2 stroke twin


 How do you create two separate airtight crankcase chambers with an inline twin throw crankshaft. Most Japanese engines were simple horizontally split crankcase halves with a drop-in built-up crankshaft.   

 Excelsior did it earlier by bolting three sections together vertically and coupling two crankshafts together. In 1958 the engine was  developed into a 500cc triple that was used in the Berkley sports car.
