' ber between the heads 37 and 37 the reduced chamber 42 shank portion 38 connecting said heads providing a chamber 42 through which the intake gases may pass. A port 43 communicates with the and permits the intake gas to ow into a passage 44 communicating with the cylinder intake ports 25 so that when said cylinder intake ports are opened by the sleeve ports 27 coming into registration therewith, the intake gas may ow into the engine cylinder. In the engine illustrated; the :intake-'gas consists 'oli' air which is ltaken.iint'o the cylinder, compressed. sandetlr'e compressed air ignites the fuel injectedtherein 25 is opened by the piston but is closed by the sleeve port lower edge. The port 24 is both opened and closed by the sleeve port lower edge. When reversing engine operation, the intake and exhaust port means are interchanged,v the pumping period and injection periods remain unchanged, and Figs. 3 and 4 diagrammatically illustrate in a crank diagram when injection begins (I. BJ, injection ends (I. E.), and when the pump delivery begins (P. B.) and when pump delivery ends (P. EJ. In the forward operation of the engine the pump delivery period takes place 'justl prior. to vthe injection period whereas in the reverse engine operation 'as illustrated in Fig. 4 the injection period takes place at a relaby the injection nozzle 24a.

"In fa multi-"cylinderengine a relatively less difference-in the time interval will be present though it i`s`possib`1e to so time a muni-cynnder engine vthat no? appreciable difference willfbe present.

Inengines of `this character it isV usuallyprcferable to provide an injection periodo'f approximately '30 of crankshaft rotation, but obviously this period may bev varied if so'de'siredandthe timeof opening and closing may `be Ealso varied as found 1 desirable. In engines -of `this 'character'jmeans are 'generally provided v for adjusting the injection periodand this adjustment may beeniployed if so desired -tovary the opening and closing of the injection period when 'the engine is reversed-so as tfobtain better'eciency in reverse than i'f'jthe injection period had been "left uncl'ianged.L Since the engine isoperated a majorv portionpfthe time'forwardly, the'timng of the injection period `preferably arranged 'to favor forward 'engineoperation Preferably, the sleeve valvefrneans isadvanced with respect-to the piston" by setting the 'valve crank inv advance ofthe power pistons crank.
