The concept really makes a lot of sense to me and I tend to agree with lining the power sroke up with the better part of the crankpin travel.

It doesn't really state how much off-set there is on a cylinder and I think that a resonable amount might be a good thing. The loads associated with the low stress cycles could be sacrificed for a better angle on the power stroke. However this becomes opposit when talking about a 4 stroke compression and exhaust strokes.

The animation is probably skewed somewhat, but offsetting cylinder very much will cause an effective reduction in stroke (swept travel of the piston)

I am really trying hard to recall engines that offset the pins, pistons, or cylinders.

Oh yes, I remember. Lots of chrysler,gm, engines had and probably still do have off-set pin bores in the pistons, maybe for this very reason and I'd like to find out the amount of the off-set of this clark design.
