I've read their explanation of comparisons with other engines, yet the fact that there are no cylinder cooling fins makes me wonder. The engine which interests me quite a lot is the 6 cylinder D-Motor, although there doesn't seem to be enough information or history, at least not that I can find. But the combination of side-valve and modern technology seems a great concept for aircraft applications. I'll also watch Aeromomentum with interest.
