Another Old stang post..It tries to kill me!!!

[Mercury]

A engine doesnt have to be running hot to diesel. Its compression is pretty damn high compared to todays cars. On a Dry cylinder, after the engine sat for two days, it rung up to 10.9:1. I didnt think the Comp. was going to be that high, I guessed a little over 10 and a half to one. I changed my sig accordingly.

That compression alone, at an operating temprature of 190 degress can diesel at the high RPMs. It got up to almost 6000 RPM by the time I killed the ignition.
