Re: [Amc-list] AMC V8 Diesel - Did AMC ever create one?

It's called indirect injection and quite few older engines worked that way, 
including the IH 7.3L used in Fords and the Nissan 3.3 in Jeep trucks.

I may be wrong but, I was to understand that diesels inject fuel
directly into the cylinder and it burns as it is being injected.

IF you can inject fuel from behind a valve, how do you keep it
from
igniting while the intake valve is open? And/or how do you get
it to
ignite once the valves are closed?
