Oh well, why not make myself look like an idiot in front of you all or
y'all as we say down south.
#7) Suppose you have two 152ci TR engines side-by-side; same, make,
model. One engine has a compression ratio of 12:1 with a static
compression of 90. The other engine has a compression ratio of 7.5:1
with a static compression of 200. Which engine would you want in your
car? Why?
I would want to put in the lower compression engine: the reason being
that the higher static compression of the 7.5:1 engine seems to indicate
to me that it is much healthier while the 12:1 engine appears to be in
need of a rebuild (rings, pistons).
