No something called "block heating" is considered. Also the surface area of the cylinder piston and bore is insufficient. So one half is traveling balance into the other, so there is a yield consideration. The compression stroke referred to frequential block heating.

I have run "2 Cycle engines" when using 2400psi Argon charge. Ice formed on the cylinder fins. With a OTTO cycle there is a compression stroke this heats the cylinder block and the engine runs better and longer.

there is another video where I make partial revolutions using steam. but the above video is using Argon at 2400psi.
