[V8] Vespa???

Yep. All 2-stroke.

I wonder if you even could turbo/blow one? It would mean pressurizing the case -
wouldn't it?

I know 2-stroke diesels HAVE to be turbo'd, but they are a different beast.

I believe that all your gigantic sized diesels - like locomotive class stuff -
is all 2-stroke diesel.
