Default RE: Engine compression

I am still in disagreement. If you add oil, you have to richen the needle to have the same air/burnable mixture you had before. Therefore the volume of vapor droplets is greater than without the added oil. Secondly the burn is not a detonation, but rather a flame front originating at the gloplug. Even model diesels do not detonate, but rather have a burn all through the chamber at once.
