Re: Engine Compression Plates
So, what is your explanation for the universal use of the name "Compression Plate", Richard???GOLDSTAR wrote:tommy rot! if one is not fitted then the compression is as per manufacturers figures when you fit a decompression plate you do exactly that lower the compression ratio therefore you decompress it. kind regardst

Re: Engine Compression Plates
much incorrect terminology is now used in the English language, in particular by the BBC who at one time were sticklers for correct and concise English but no longer, anyway you are correct it is of no consequence really and I'm bored with the topic !
