On this engine the hole in the side of the piston lines up with the main transfer port on the sleeve, but as mentioned there is no channel in the side of the block corresponding to the main transfer port. All of the flow through that port comes through the hole in the side of the piston. So...can I be confident that the airflow under the piston is keeping the piston cooler than a comparable engine with a normal transfer port?
