Andrew, You said, 'H doesn't fit, and as others have pointed-out, doesn't discriminate between center-crank (boxer) or 2-stroke outboard dual cranks.' The standard, widely-used 'H' designation stands for a 'horizontally-opposed' cylinder arrangement. It does describe this exactly, I see no vagueness there. These are very common and offered by several manufacturers from early cars to present-day......... Does a 2-stroke outboard dual crank engine have horizontally-opposed cylinders also? I've never even heard of one, let alone on a common automotive production vehicle. Mike B. |
