Did the article indicate whether they were 2 stroke or 4? *(inboard
diesels come in both varieties).


Hmmm.... from the website posted by Thunder, "16-Valve Direct Acting
Double Overhead Cam" so it must be a four stroke. *I would have guesed
two stroke to save weight.

Yeah, I just looked, too. I'd have thought the same, save weight.

The "Great Slobering Beasts" from Detriot Diesel have four valves per cyl.
Just all are used for exaust. I could imagin a lobe that was able to pump
an injector at the proper firing time. I wonder where they plan to dump to
blower box oil that always drips like the Detroit that enabled it's
reference in the Bible. ;-)
