Hey Tony in the video it shows Mark Kirby explaining how and why the chilled ductile iron sleeves go up from the bottom and he even shows the mandrel that pushes them in.
I think the timed threads idea was eliminated. I believe it gets its strength in the parallel of the cylinder bores by internal ribbing and a "mid- deck" design.
