That's pretty slick.
Typically long rods decrease loads on compontents, and like he said all of the connecting rods are either always push, or always pull, which would be a big advantage from a wear aspect.
What I'm wondering about is how the outer connecting rods will seal up, and how the outer pistons will wear; more the seal setup than anything, I'm guessing just a big cover over the entire thing . . . .
