Wait a minute please. There is something you obviously do not =
appreciate. These two guys are practically neighbors and tease the snot =
out of each other all the time. I'm dead positive that this is only rib =

Just to be clear: compression ratio is the displacement difference =
between cyclinder swept volume VS the head's volume. It is not based =
from atmospheric pressures.=20
Another point:=20
I don't see any reason to poke fun at people. If someone has something =
to add, that is great, but "ribbing" is not very polite, especially when =
it comes to insulting one's intelligence. I think we were all tought (or =
should have been) that if you don't have anything good to say then =
don't.=20
I'd rather not get pointless emails in my inbox of that nature......=20
