You are better off with oval pistons, seeing as pistons cant turn, and =
makes the head a much better shape for fitting multi valves into , or =
just 2 big valves, but remember guys.... If you want revs as well =
(which, I don't think many of you Americans do... (cubes don't make =
revs)), you need small low mass valves so that they can close in time!
Here is a silly twin spark idea:
=20
If you get my drift (or for that matter....... My email works :))

This might be a dumb question, but why not non-circular valves? I guess =
they wouldn't be able to spin. Is that a problem? I can see corners =

bad, but what about a nice oval shape?
