You could be right, there's no spark plug holes, but they had some funny arrangement with injection ports on the front instead.

Really? Where does the spark happen, in the inlet port? Its certainly different.

Really wierd. I see the spark happens inside the valve recess combustion chamber. What plugs does it run and are the valves arranged in the normal A series order?
