A rotary valve enables the two stroke engine's intake timing to be asymmetrical which is not possible with two stroke piston port type engines. The two stroke piston port type engine's intake timing opens and closes before and after top dead center at the same crank angle making it symmetrical whereas the rotary valve allows the opening to begin earlier and close earlier. | A rotary valve enables the two stroke engine's intake timing to be asymmetrical which is not possible with two stroke piston port type engines.
