Revtec? did you even read what they say about the engine? it fire 3times per revelution and then it will also produce 3 times more torque, but also consume 3times more fuel.
Well to be totaly corect it produce 2.9 times more torque so it actualy 3,33%les fuel efficiant than a engine at same power because of reduced torque per workcycle because of increased piston speed decrease the filling of the air fuel mixure.
The bearings on the side of the piston how long will they last?
I belive the heavy crankshaft mecanism will make the engine heavy.
It has to be a bokser design with all the disandvantages that have. a boker is more heavy than a inline or v engine at simular size.
cylinders will quicker ger oval.
