An internal combustion engine, including a pair of opposed pistons, a pair of opposed cylinders, and an output shaft, wherein each of the pistons is arranged for reciprocating motion within a respective one of the cylinders, driven by combustion, and the pistons are coupled to the output shaft by a coupling such that said reciprocating motion of the pistons drives rotation of the output shaft, wherein the coupling includes a connecting rod coupled to the opposed pistons, and the coupling further includes a crankshaft rotatably mounted within a slider bearing, the slider bearing being formed of separable parts and having unitary sides for sliding contact within the connecting rod.
