the coolest thing about it is that balance. there is no load at idle on the crankcase. I'm sure that changes when load is applied to the crankshaft, but the power generation process in and of itself adds no load, so they could use 2 main bearings, which would allow the use of roller bearings instead of what we're used to for main/rod bearings.
