A crosshead system (220) for a swashplate engine (10) such as a Stirling cycle type. A plurality of crossheads (222) are constrained to move in a reciprocating fashion by travelling along a pair of parallel guide rods (26). The crosshead system further includes a mechanism for adjusting a clearance between the crosshead elements and the opposed parallel face surfaces of the rotating swashplate. The adjustment mechanism includes a threaded adjuster cup (240) which is maintained in a lock position through a fastener which drives a conical cone (274) into the conical inside surface (276) of the adjuster sleeve thus fixing its rotated and hence linear position.
