get a well lit macro shot of those intake ports, then we'll be able to tell.

Am I seeing things (I am on my phone so I can't tell) or is that port crooked? Looks wayyy oblonged to me.

Looks all pretty ordinary and commonplace stuff to me...
Any idea what prompted your mech to come up with this pronouncement?

Pretty much about the same as about every other such motor I've ever looked at. Nothing to see here. These aren't the ports you're looking for. Move along...
