Actually a lot of multi-cylinder engine makers did exactly that, to name

How were they lubricated?

Early on (1920) Fairbanks-Morse mad at least one 15 HP semi diesel
that used the crankcase to pressurize air for the 2 stroke engine The
engine lubrication was by a mechanical oil pressure pump pumping oil
to the two main bearing shells and to the cylinder. However the later
two piston Fairbanks-Morse 2-strokes used in locomotives and ships
all had a mechanical blower for scavenging.
