How stupid would it be to bolt together two flathead engines

someone made a 4 cylinder out of 4 briggs lawn mower engines. literally welded them all together and trimmed the heads up to make it work.

just think of it as a 8 cylinder version of old bmw boxers

To make a cross-section like this though.

You mean to make something like a Jumo 204? Probably the hardest thing would be engineering the joint between the two faces and avoiding the valves hitting each other, so you'd probably need some kind of plate between the two halves.

Cool project. There have also been diesel ones used in trucks. Must have sounded pretty crude.

And unless it's going to be diesel there's no room for spark plugs.

Just look up the Napier Deltic, unlike the jumo you can actually see videos of the Deltic working.

Each piston would make a portion of power sent to shafts fight with eachother instead of freely delivering it probably.

It's stupid but I like it
