In order to minimize stresses due to bending in bed-plate without using extra material tie rods are used to transmit the combustion forces.They are pre-stressed in assembly so that engine is always in compression. Two tie rods are fitted to each transverse member and they pass in tubes through the
entire structure of the engine from bed plate to cylinder cooling jacket. in order to minimize bending tie-rods are kept close to the center line and bearing keeps are kept in place by jack bolts. They are restrained from motion using pinch-bolts.
