The overlap does indeed help to get rid of exhaust gases, this is how Volumetric efficiencies of around 117% are achieved........ even back in the 60's and 70's.
Does anyone have any clear graphs of the pressure traces at the exhaust and intake ports?
Mazda has one shown in Yamamoto's book but it is very blurry.
Averages from gauges don't show as much as we would like.
