Maybe it was because of the noise. 2 stroke diesels are very noisy. GMs (Detroit) 71 series engines were 2 stroke. Very good engine, cheaper to repair than other diesels but very noisy. Unique feature about them was they could be made to run in either direction. Right rotation or left rotation. Worked great in duel engine boats. No torque.
