  1. Interesting design but I think the biggest problem with this design is the fact that you now have effectively two sets of camshaft bearings and one set is on moving element. Considering that camshaft bearing is already absolutely critical for high power applications even with traditional designs, trying to extract even more power from this design is going to be hard for the lubrication.

  2. It was quite jarring to me too, but it definitely makes me remember this video and this engine.
