Looks like rotary (barrel) valves in the heads.

I remember reading about "spherical" heads/valvetrain a LONG time ago....
That's some nice work.
Hydraulic cylinder fuel tank. I dig it.
Rotary valve engines have been around almost as long as internal combustion engines. Great idea if someone gets it to be reliable. Less parts, less rotating mass, less friction loss, and the ability to run incredibly high compression ratios.

Good question.
Gotta be some bolts somewhere. Sheer willpower wouldn't be enough...

Has to be through the lower frame section into some bosses on the cases
