Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Is it april the first already? Quote
Thrustyjust Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Would be great. you could leave them at a long length for a high torque high compression engine and when the mood suits, fit a turbo and wind them in to lower the C.R . I hope they patented that Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I'm sure there are a number of patents in the field, but I know Porsche have had a patent on hydraulically adjusted variable length rods, for a variable CR engine for a few years... Quote
