     @r0se iirc ktm also came up with some tech to get their 2-stroke bikes through emissions so maybe i could pull that off after all. like i said 2-stroke diesels run perfectly lean so its entirely possible that a downscaled one could actually pass emissions at which point a road-worthy version becomes technically possible

     @snacks @r0se thats standard for uniflow engines. one exhaust valve at the top of the cylinder to improve scavenging by making the intake air and the exhaust gases move the exact same direction

     @coolbean @r0se are they fuel injected? Probably if they're already doing valves

     @snacks @r0se but fuel is only injected right before combustion after the valves would already be closed

     @coolbean @r0se looked it up and i'm retarded. They only use a valve on the exhaust

     @snacks @r0se thats was thinking of
     
     for that matter: im pretty sure the diesels are already fuel injected? injecting the diesel is basically their equivalent to spark iirc

     @snacks @r0se so the only special thing they do is something the diesel ones already naturally need to do? fuck man the more i think about it the more these make sense what the fuck

     @snacks @r0se actually would the levels of compression used by diesel even work with an aluminum block?

     @r0se @snacks see corporations get to do a bunch of simulations to figure this out. i just gotta wing it and hope it blows up in an interesting way if im wrong
