Most gas radials I've seen/flown had around 8:1 compression, that's food for thought. Just wondering though, are the german aircooled diesel cylinders intergral with the block? the WWII era Guiberson and Cat D-200A Radials had 14.3:1 and 15.5:1 respectively. The Guiberson weighed about 1100 pounds in Tank trim, And that Cat engine started out as an Wright R-1820, but weighed over 3000 pounds by time Cat beefed it up enough to be reliable. ** mike **
