I know nothing about cars.
How is this different from any other car?
See those 3 long cylinder looking things? Those are not normal in many other engines. That's part of what OP is referring to.
Yep that's it. Those tubes carry oil from the oil pump to each of the main & rod bearings along the crankshaft. It's unusual to see dedicated galleys like this outside of very large displacement industrial motors, most manufacturers just cast small grooves inside their engine blocks to carry oil around the bottom end.
Thanks for the info!
