Early on (1920) Fairbanks-Morse mad at least one 15 HP semi diesel
that used the crankcase to pressurize air for the 2 stroke engine The
engine lubrication was by a mechanical oil pressure pump pumping oil
to the two main bearing shells and to the cylinder.

I assume the lube oil got burned, or was it reclaimed in some way?
