Yes. Why?
Timing, in relation to the ports, and to encourage scavenging and possibly even to promote swirl which can be a desirable effect in engines for effective mixture dispersal and even combustion Monster.

Indeed Steve.
Such a downfall.
It's like the Achiles' heel of the almost perfect engine.
Such a shame.

If you can lubricate it sufficently, make the bearings good enough, and provide enough air/fuel, yes, it would rev til whatever.
Rotary Diesels are good, but no-one uses them for some reason

Greyhound buses have 2 stroke diesels and they rev to about 4 billion RPM
Next time you're watching a yank film with a Greyhound pulling away, turn the volume up and listen, it's hilarious.
