Stirling engine: the cycle is composed by two isothermals and 2 isometrica and there are just two heat reservoirs.
By the isometrics I would say that that it is irreversible since you exchanging heat with a reservoir at a different temperature than your gas.
However my notes say the contrary.. I guess it refers to the case where there are a infinity of heat reservoirs
