  1. The oil that feeds the crankpin first has to lubricate the pin and pin bearing in the slider. The it gets to lubricate the slider top and bottom. All this after the inevitable looses of oil from the main and pin bearings. If this is a better system overall it would have been in use by some automotive manufacturer

  2. One thing i can see wtong with this design. Any Scotch Yoke one piece piston/rod assembly will have to be installed from the crankcase side of the engine. This means that the block, crankshaft and camshaft will have to be much longer. For an example a Ford Windsor V-8 has a bore center of 4.380" and a bore of 4.000". With a Scotch Yoke setup this would only leave .380" of an inch (1) for the main bearing. 1) for metric you do the math.
