Careful Tony, the flood gates will open and the band wagon will roll again with gusto. Honesty the subject requires a textbook and certainly not an opinion. What is more there no single good design.

The length of time the inlet and exhaust valves are open during a combustion cycle, is a major deciding factor relative to the charge available for combustion. All related design becomes a compromise based on specific requirements and the practical criteria involved.
