Once you get to those kind of spontaneous-detonation temps, ignition
timing is both moot, and random. Water/alcohol injection and a direct port
timed fuel spray might help, along with a dry ice and nitrous-chilled
intercooler and a tunable counterbalance shaft.
Actually the big Brit one lunger bikes - or at least the three in my in my
past - didn't vibrate; they just sort of threw themselves around at idle like
a washing machine with a single blanket then smoothed out to a dull shake.
I did have a one lung Lister diesel in a sailboat that was a real pile driver
- idling out of gear in dead calm, you could feel the boat trying to get away
from all the thrashing...
