<HTML>Hi Joe,
Are you referring to the Fairbanks Morse opposed piston engine or the General motors V-16? I\'ve worked on 2-stroke V-16\'s (149 series) and they weren\'t too bad. The \"V\" configuration, however, was always harder to work on than a standard in-line type. On a sub, I could imagine the cylinder bank closest to the pressure hull was a pain.
I\'ve never did any major work to an FB opposed piston. I\'ve looked at them long and hard and thought the lower assemblies could be bear to work on. If your comment about the lower pistons is in reference to a FB, it sounds like they were difficult indeed.
