Line 7: Line 7:
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.

Rotary valve engines can be customized to deliver power over a wider [[RPM]] range or higher [[horse power]] over a narrower RPM range than either piston port or reed valve engine though they are more mechanically complicated than either one of them.
