It has alot to do with it. Look at the larger tire being the larger stroke engine. That would make the smaller tire, representitive of the smaller stroke engine.

Lets see, I'll try to make this easy.The crank rotates 360 Degrees, a tire is 360 degrees, a larger stroke has a larger "Cirlcle" than the smaller crank.

Just think of the white mark I said in my first example as one of the throws on the crank.

Does that clear things up man? Not raggin on ya, we all start off fresh at sometime. But man you have several experienced engine builders here all telling you the same thing, its time to start reconsidering who's right. Just gotta know when to fold in.
