Default RE: Irvine engines

That "bumpy" port has stirred a memory in me. I think it may be a true boost port if the cavity isn't connected directly to the crankcase but is closed off by the descending piston just before the transfer ports open so it traps the most highly compressed fresh charge inside the bump until the piston uncovers its port.
