[DML] Re: factoid





Not necessarily. Cam timing, lift, duration, and overlap can impact 
the cranking-speed compression quite a bit. You cannot draw a direct 
relationship between compression ratio and compression in pounds PSI 
except between identical engines. Identical in bore, stroke, and cam 
timing.
