Nor did you mention the beefier running train(rods, pistons, crank etc.) I believe crank angle may be pretty important here too..
Personally i would never consider converting a gas engine to diesel esp if I was going to increase the compression ratio. Increasing the compression ration adds alot more stress to internal components and they just wont last. Sometimes they wont last 15 minutes. LOL Anyway it is just easier to find a Diesel Longblock and rebuild it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "harley3" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 5:45 AM Subject: RE: [biofuel] Engine conversion > Dear Ozan: > > As you mentioned, the engine compression ratios is going to be a problem. > The compression of gasoline engine is around 9 to 1, and the diesel engine > is around 20 to1.
