It should also be more effective for engines that have a large bore and short stroke since they have more surface area to absorb heat.

Maybe you can explain? (maybe I'm misreading?)
I was under the impression that optimal conditions are adiabatic. So any heat absorbed into the engine is lost heat. Nominally, the engine doesn't heat up and all heat is transferred to the cold reservoir (in our case, the environment).
Which seems to be in line with the article...
