Default RE: Engine compression

I'm going to have to disagree with Jim. The oil is fully mixed/blended in the fuel as it hits the carb spray bar. At that point it is atomized and runs into the combustion chamber with all "vapor droplets" approximately the same size. As the vapor mixture is compressed it detonates before returning to a liquid state.
