But they have to fight the vacuum on the way back up.

Frankly, I have never bought this as a source of
power, and there has yet to be a scientific
explanation that "washes", IME.  I'd love to hear one,
but this ain't it, I don't think.

How does oil get into the combustion chamber?  Through
the airbox?  That can be eliminated with a simple
crankcase vent filter, and elimination of the hose
between crankcase and airbox.
