The injector in a truck diesel are timed for injection because as soon as it is sprayed into the cyl., it ignites just from the heat of compression. Comp. ratio is much higher than on a model engine and one of the the reasons they have to be built much heavier. The pressure in the cyl after ign. is much higher also.

Great tag line! I might change mine to "Dreamed I was eating a giant marshmallow... woke up and my pillow was gone..."

Isn't this thread more suited to the Engines forums?

Best wishes,
