Design
The Asso Caccia had a V-cylinder configuration, with cylinders made of carbon steel, equipped with cooling fins, mounted separately from each other, to which a single head per cylinder was connected. Above them, two light alloy carters, one per group of cylinders, had the function of connecting the cylinder heads and the intake ducts as well as containing, closed by a cover, the tappets and the distribution members.
The crankshaft, made of special steel, was supported by a series of 8 bearings, with the insertion in the rear position between the last two of a double bearing and thrust ball bearing, which had the task of supporting the effort of the propeller whether it is mounted in a pulling or pushing configuration.[2]
