Caterpillar makes some low compression diesels for the railroad.
They won't start below
They're turbocharged two-cycle, probably
Or maybe Detroit only makes two-cycle, but to get the most power large
engines like that are generally some sort of forced [or slightly

The detroit diesel 2 stroke engine actually requires a supercharger by

I have been _very_ interested in 2-cycle diesels because of their high
power/weight ratio. The concern was that they smoke too much but
modern designs eliminate a lot of the soot, and clean fuels of course
reduce emissions immensely.
I want to design a small two cycle diesel, but as fate would
