How do you know ? I'm curious.
I doesn't matter if it's I, V pancake or other as long as the bore stroke ratio is the same it makes no difference which way the pistons go.

With diesels it's just a matter of cranking up the boost and adding fuel until it can't handle any more. No worries about detonation and octane ratings that go with gas engines.
