I wasn't sure if it was a doctored photo, I have never seen anything near that size, nor can I comprehend the force it would take to bend that.

That should be two stroke, turbo is needed to scavenge. Overhead (poppet) intake valve, and exhaust ports around the sleeve. Weird stuff.

I started a thread about Slow speed Diesel engines a while back. They usually handle between 6-10 bar, sometimes more.
