  If you ground a cam that was "flipped" as to the relationship between the
intake and exhaust lobes they would.  Then change the firing order of the
lines from the pump to the injectors.
  Heck, just make both lobes the same, run the exhaust out the intake
as well as the exhaust, put some ports into the cylinder, swap a crank
gear on the pump and make it a 2-stroke!  :)

>  And why do some cars have left hand threads on wheelstuds ?

  I always assumed it was because they suspected the rotation of the
wheel would loosen the lug nuts, which it appears it never really did.
