"The Scotch Yoke is a deal-killer for me."
Why??
I can see the write up is not accurate, the 4 cylinder version of this engine was a 4 cylinder boxer engine like the VW.
As far as I have read it ran up to 50:1 A/F radio, and it fires on each compression stroke which is each time the piston compresses, plus the power stroke of a firing piston helps compress the other side piston.
Anyway this is a very interesting design and should be researched more.
