After reading through the trilobate forum, and some(didn't have time for all the revetech page this morning) It seems like the X bloc idea has advantages. However, it also seems that having a much more efficient ICE does not really affect the above proposal. The trilobate would reduce heat soak through the engine block because its not causing greater friction to get the power out of the cylinders. Also it seems it's going to save heat soaking simply in the two stroke fashion, because the metal can only absorb so much heat so quickly.

That said as long as the exhaust is hot, and I do suspect it would be even after being sprayed(or line the stirlings up first and insulate the pipes to avoid heat exchange with anything other than the stirlings put the (NO)X spray on the otherside and give it a run) and the stirlings would still have a scavenging ability.
