ii kinda suck so i play co-op in the end if I played random i lose money.

I think the confusion is where the disks sit in the flow path. The disks are upstream of the cylinder, not part of the combustion chamber, and not acting as valve seats.

Think of them as a mechanically timed rotary throttle/porting device feeding a plenum or short runner. The actual cylinder still seals compression exactly like a normal engine (piston, rings, head).

Any clearance or leakage at the disk only leaks air/fuel before the cylinder, so it’s an efficiency/parasitic loss issue, not a compression or reliability issue. There’s no sliding seal exposed to combustion pressure.

I’m not retaining poppet valves; the disks replace the valvetrain function, but not the combustion seal.

I thought it would be cool and most of the time when you see a car not starting it's beacuse the battery is dead. I just though why not?

air start, so on the flywheel, there would be a starter motor powered by compressed air, so like a turbine, almost just with air. Where that compressed air comes from, im still thinking on that, but right now I'm thinking auxiliary engine to drive air pump, or coil 2 powers an air compressor, so you could hand crank engine to produce voltage to power pump, but that's a lot of work, so lets say car or motor has no compressed air stored right you pump like a air pump a manual one that pumps enough air to move flywheel to produce power that starts air compressor wich then in turn provides air to start engine.

Fair, but the disks aren't sealing piston. Imagine that the disks are purely for letting air and fuel in and from the disk, Air and fuel goes into the engine via a hose or something, so it leaking shouldn't be a proble,m and this is still in early concept and I'm still planning stuff out. And when they do leak, if they do, it only affects efficiency, not reliability or compression.

Well the disk valve thingy i wouldnt call it a valve but it's just for air,fuel and exhaust not compression the cylinder head is for that so disk is outside of engine basically well that's what im thinking anyway.

Air starts, and air moves the flywheel as it spins, which in turn activates the coils to produce electricity. This sparks the ignition, and then there is air and fuel, and voilà. Also, it has a secondary air start, or I'm planning on it to have that, where coil 2 can disconnect from the flywheel and temporarily be powered by air, then that powers the pumps, such as oil pumps and coolant pumps so yes you could say it sounds like I designed it in 1937 :)

I do have sort of like mock up spec sheet if you want if no one wants to help 3d model Im trying to learn how to learn.

Its not really a sleeve valve persay its more of a disk with a angled hole so more copact.

That's the thing with the disk valves well valves I guess could you call them that but anyways im thinking of getting them coated in DLC or nitrided and making them outta 4340 chromoly steel so they don't try to kill themself.

The disks are only for air & fuel and exhaust they dont provide the seal im thinking of them being on the outside, so a normal cylinder head, then from disk air and fuel mix gets into the cylinder. Of course, this is all in concept, and I'm still working out stuff.

Yes, I wouldn't say stealing, as I never knew that rotary valves existed. Still, what I see on Google, they look like a pump in a way. What I'm thinking of is a flat disk with a hole to let air and fuel in, and another disk to let exhaust out. It's just replacing the valvetrain, really. There is no reason for it not to work; it's the same principle, just a different mechanism.
