Thanks for this thread, guys! It sucked away a whole morning of my life.
And yeah, Bristol sleeve valve aero engines, 17 year old apprentice Freddie used to build the bastards. I'd suppose they were timed just like any other radial engine.
But about weird engines, how could you have omitted George Brough's Golden Dream? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brough_Superior_Golden_Dream
And unlike animations where anything is possible, the Dream superposed flat four was built and ran.
What a trip, especially the oscillating four cylinder model. I have a co-worker that occasionally brings one in and fires it up on his desk. Love watchin' that thing run!
Love watching the homogenous combustion of carbureted or port injected engines. So much better looking than watching gasoline direct injection and all the fuel washing over the piston top and getting down in the ring pack. Good video!
