It looks like GM is working on modernising two-stroke engines by tackling their emissions problem. This could open a whole new chapter for internal combustion. It’s been a while since two-stroke ...
Engine power is a product of its overall displacement, but two similarly-sized engines with different bore and stroke characteristics don't perform the same.

GM Is Working on a Modern Two-Stroke Engine That Could Make a Comeback
The two-stroke engine is mostly a piece of history today, but there was a time when some of the coolest developments in engine technology were two-cycle engines. Here’s how two-stroke technology rose ...
Two-stroke engines used to be ubiquitous in dirt bike racing, thanks to their lightweight construction and horsepower. Packed in a dirt bike frame, they make a motorcycle playful in the corners and ...
Bore and stroke do far more than define engine size. They help shape airflow, piston speed, torque delivery, and rev potential, which is why two engines with similar displacement can feel completely ...
SlashGear: Why Two-Stroke Engines Need Oil (Even Though They Don't Need Oil Changes)
Why Two-Stroke Engines Need Oil (Even Though They Don't Need Oil Changes)
The defining characteristic of a two-stroke engine is to fire (combust) every time the piston is at top dead center. This makes them highly power dense, but also notoriously makes two-stroke engines ...
Anyone who appreciates simplicity of design and efficiency of operation has to like small two-stroke-cycle engines that power construction tools such as cut-off saws, rammers and breakers. Producing ...
