Re: poor compression
I was interested in the question of bore taper. I always made the assumption that bore taper was a bi product of machining equipment that wasn't rigid enough to make for a parallel bore. So given there was going to be taper in one dimension or the other, better to have the tight end nearest the cylinder head.
Well after reading the thread, I thought is taper actually required?
So I went and did a search. Here is a link to a rather long technical article on blow-by.
Did it answer my question? Well not categorically, but I now know that I don't know much.
Well where to from here, I don't know.
