No, because its a four stroke that uses crankcase pressure to force the inlet, hence the comment of two displacements per power stroke. Above the piston everything is as a four stroke, with the overhead cam drive also turning the rotary valve for the crankcase, no transfer ports, and non of the...

Haven't been on here for a bit. I have been involved with a project that uses crankcase pressure as a source of forced induction. The mixture is pulled into the crankcase as the piston rises and expelled as the piston drops, airflow is controlled by a rotary valve running at crank speed, so you...

Is that a dustbin lid? Not a nice car to follow apparently, as it sucked all the debris off the track and threw it out the back.
