Compression ratio is the ratio of the total cylinder volume (when the piston is at the bottom of ...
Combustion chamber volume is the volume above the piston with the piston at top dead center.
Downward movement of the piston lowers the air pressure inside the combustion chamber. The pressure ...
The piston creates a tumbling force as it moves upward.
