Camshaft timeing? Ford truck grind/LP gas conversion specs perhaps. The old BMW R50/2 was intake open 20 degrees after TDC, no overlap with the exhaust. Exhaust was also short duration. Somewhere there is an article about a Ford 200 inch 6 cylinder converted to steam used stock cam with small gear match crank size, shortened chain. That engine had intake manifold cast into head. While 1 cylinder may have intake opening slightly before TDC, other cylinders are open valves after TDC. A converted single cylinder Briggs engine at steam days show had external, reversable drive to cam stub outside crankcase- demonstartion was run engine one direction, close steam valve, switch cam drive by slideing gear outward so it ran in series with reverse idler gear, then open steam valve to run engine in reverse. Edgerton, Wi steam thresher days had some other little models, powerplants, conversions. .
