That valve design in relatively old, being used in some aircraft engines from the 40s. I also think I remember that Benz patented it back on those days too but not sure. Looks like sealing could be a big problem with them over the time.

If they want to get into the game they need someone to license that technology or start making aftermarket heads. Cool stuff!!!
