Are spark plugs important for high rpm?

4 strokes were first, maybe you are a sith and you don't even know it.

There are no 2 stroke modern cars for a reason besides 4 strokes last and don't blow up in 1,000 miles.

There were a lot of 2 stroke diesels. I think they have fallen out of favor in our high tech world but are still used in ships and locomotives.
Different animal compared to a gas 2 stroke.

A large portion of those giant ship diesels are still 2 stroke, yes. They also only turn a few hundred RPM at max engine speed lol.

Here is an extensive history of the GM 2 stroke diesel on the west coast. Bit long but interesting.
