Lang,
The engine does not appear to be of great size, but the compressor (?) is quite large, from the web photo details may not be clear but the lower part (crankcase maybe?) is not large, denote relatively short stroke, but the upper part is as high as the radiator and large in diameter, part of this is probably the water jacket.
