- a) a lower housing and an upper manifold;
- b) at least one intake port;
- c) at least one exhaust port disposed inferior to said intake port;
- d) a central retainer disposed on said upper manifold;
- e) a structural bridge secured to said central retainer with a pair of retaining pins;
- f) a piston disposed within said lower housing;
- g) a piston rod projecting from the bottom of said piston;
- h) a crank shaft rotatively secured to said piston rod;
- i) a cam and spring system affiliated with said crank shaft;
- j) a lever arm;
- k) a push rod communicating between said lever arm and its associated cam;
- l) an upper sealing gate raised and lowered by said lever arm;
- and
- m) a lower sealing gate;
- n) wherein the piston is at top dead center with the upper sealing gate fully open and said lower sealing gate fully closed when in the static position;
- and
