An internal combustion engine comprising a combustion chamber having a surrounding sidewall with a piston slideably disposed in the surrounding sidewall. A motion conversion mechanism is connected to the piston via a piston rod, and is operative to convert reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion. The motion conversion mechanism comprises a cam drum and at least one roller connected to the piston rod. A piston valve including a valve head and a valve stem extends through the piston. The piston valve is moveable between an open position and a closed position to control fluid movement through the flow passage. The valve head is pivotably connected to the valve stem and the engine includes a linkage connected to the valve head that is operative to pivot the valve head between an intake position and an exhaust position.

1. An internal combustion engine, comprising: a combustion chamber having a surrounding sidewall;a piston slideably disposed in the surrounding sidewall and including a top side, a bottom side opposite the top side, and a flow passage extending therebetween, wherein the flow passage includes an intake flow passage and an exhaust flow passage;a motion conversion mechanism operative to convert reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion;a piston rod extending between the piston and the motion conversion mechanism; anda piston valve moveable between an open position and a closed position to control fluid movement through the flow passage, wherein the piston valve includes: a valve stem extending through the piston rod, anda valve head pivotably connected to the valve stem and movable between an intake position, wherein a fluid flow is directed through the intake flow passage and into the combustion chamber, andan exhaust position, wherein the fluid flow is directed out of the combustion chamber through the exhaust flow passage. 2. The engine of claim 1, further comprising an intake port and an exhaust port formed through the surrounding sidewall. 3. The engine of claim 2, wherein the exhaust port is offset from the intake port toward the piston. 4. The engine of claim 2, further comprising a forced induction device in fluid communication with the intake port. 5. The engine of claim 4, wherein the forced induction device is a turbocharger. 6. The engine of claim 1, wherein the valve head is positioned adjacent the top side of the piston and the valve stem extends through the piston rod. 7. The engine of claim 6, further comprising a lift actuator connected to the valve stem and operable to move the piston valve between the open and closed positions. 8. The engine of claim 7, wherein the lift actuator comprises a cam. 9. The engine of claim 7, wherein the lift actuator comprises a hydraulic cylinder. 10. The engine of claim 6, wherein the piston valve is biased toward the closed position. 11. The engine of claim 10, further comprising a retainer disposed on the valve stem and a compression spring disposed between a distal end of the piston rod and the retainer. 12. The engine of claim 1, further comprising a linkage connected to the valve head and operative to pivot the valve head between the intake position and the exhaust position. 13. The engine of claim 1, wherein the motion conversion mechanism comprises a cam drum and at least one roller connected to the piston rod. 14. An internal combustion engine, comprising: a combustion chamber including a surrounding sidewall, an intake port, and an exhaust port;a piston slideably disposed in the surrounding sidewall and including a top side, a bottom side, and a flow passage extending therebetween;a motion conversion mechanism operative to convert reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion;a piston rod extending between the piston and the motion conversion mechanism;a piston valve moveable between an open position and a closed position to control fluid movement through the flow passage, wherein the piston valve includes: a valve stem extending through the piston rod, anda valve head pivotably connected to the valve stem and movable between an intake position and an exhaust position; anda flow divider extending along a length of the piston rod and positioned to direct a fluid flow from the intake port, through the flow passage, and into the combustion chamber when the valve head is in the intake position and from the combustion chamber though the flow passage, and out through the exhaust port, when the valve head is in the exhaust position. 15. The engine of claim 14, wherein the intake port and the exhaust port are positioned on opposite sides of the flow divider. 16. The engine of claim 15, wherein the intake port and the exhaust port are positioned below the top side of the piston. 17. The engine of claim 14, further comprising a linkage connected to the valve head and operative to pivot the valve head between the intake position and the exhaust position. 18. The engine of claim 17, further comprising a tilt actuator connected to the linkage and operable to move the valve head between the intake position and the exhaust position. 19. The engine of claim 17, wherein the linkage comprises a pivot rod connected to the valve head and a lever arm pivotably connected to the valve stem and the pivot rod. 20. A method for operating a two-cycle internal combustion engine having a piston disposed in a surrounding sidewall defining a combustion chamber therebetween, the method comprising: injecting a quantity of fuel into the combustion chamber while the piston is near top dead center;igniting the fuel in the combustion chamber;opening a piston valve including a valve head to expose a flow passage through the piston;pivoting the valve head a first direction to direct an exhaust flow from the combustion chamber through the flow passage and out an exhaust port;pressurizing air through an intake port;covering the exhaust port with the piston;pivoting the valve head a second direction to direct an intake flow from the intake port through the flow passage and into the combustion chamber; andclosing the piston valve near bottom dead center.
