I am not much for big flowery words, or unrealistic claims that defy the laws the physics.... But if you think the engineers at the factories are the only ones with a strong understanding of loop scavenging 2 strokes you are sadly mistaken......Many innovative developments in combustion engines over the years have come from independent sources and not the big factories.... Many times the engineers are working to develop a efficient cost effective production, which leads to compromises with the ideal design....
