As Paul pointed out, all of the cam related engines suffer from the
high local stresses on the cam surfaces. Many of these are inspired
by the thought that added combustion time at TDC is a major
benifit (the infamous Bourke engine being a prime example with
an almost religous following). Any changes from this are miniscule
and the resulting engines are almost always heavier and more
expensive than conventional designs. Vance J

No I wasn't refering to the Dynacam engine. I saw another rotary type engine
on the net. I don't they reference the same engine but I don't know.
