In an overhead valve engines didn't come along until the early 20th century, because everyone in the 19th century was using side valve engines sort of way.

Other than that, yes, EXACTLY!

I love the 2 stroke motor.

Are you really that nit picky that you're gonna go on about where the intake valve happens to be situated in the diagram? You realize that some motor have sideways firing pistons right? Then what? Oh don't tell me you were the lead engine designer for Volvo in the 1970s....

I had heard early harleys- like pre WWII. Had springless intake valves. Seriously limited compression and RPMs.
Very cool link.

No! That is not possible because the knower of all things says that it is not!!! The maker of this website is probably a mechanical engineering professor but I'm sure that A M J knows better!!! Yeesh!

Springless intake valves but the exhaust had springs though? How in the hell would that work? The air would take the path of least resistance and blow back out the intake valves.

Hmmm... well not if the valve is one way, so to speak... although I must confess to wonderin what keeps it seated until vacuum opens it? The pressure of the exhaust gasses until they are released?
