rod length does affect torque output. a longer connecting rod will help generate more torque, because the longer connecting rod will let the crank reach the moment of 90* (where it produces most of it's torque) faster. intertesting, i never really thought about it. an old hot rodding trick was to bore out an engine at a slight angle to help increase torque as well. there was a little paragraph about this very subject in the magazine "motor cyclist" not long ago.
