Slaps self on forehead and says... "duh" .. the link escaped me when I responded.. my apology..
The F900 in the link more than likely has a "Sceaming Jimmy" GMC 2 stroke diesel. Detroit Diesel is / was a division of General Motors thus "GMC" and Ford used the Detroit 2 stroke in that era. ... so likely .. The 2 stroke diesel Detroit did have exhaust valves.. the "intake valve" is the piston and a ported sleeve. The useful power band is pretty narrow and fuel efficency / emissions are less than desired... however , in it's day... it was as good as it got and diesel was cheap...
