I am relatively new at this car repairing thing. So I am going to ask a basic
question. I am trying to figure out what exactly is the meaning of the
compression ratio. As far as I can figure a low compression = engine will
burn oil ( I take this is because the seal around the pistons are worn, I
don't reallyknow). Also having a high ratio means one has to use higher octane gas and
the engine runs hotter. Also people talk about adjusting the compression, how
is this done. What do each of the numbers refer to and what is the ideal
compression for t3's ( I take they are different for different engins). Thanx
for your wisdom and patience.
