nope.. not rotary. It has a cylical stroke of about 2 feet.. sometimes more depending on the piston.

Okay what engine runs on Diesel, is started with a small rope, has a stroke of about two feet, a bore of 2 feet, no connecting rods, no crankshaft, no exhaust valves, and only three moving parts other than the single injector?
Is it a turbine engine?

All technicallities LOL...Lets see the stroke would be the rotational distance covered and the bore would have to be the with of the housing.
