[QUOTE="Coiled03, post: 16195126, member: 18779"] It's not on the power stroke, that's why. Temperature and pressure mean jack squat until the mixture is ignited, at which point the energy is transferred to the piston, which then travels a distance down the bore. Power is work done or energy transferred over a distance. Any time before it reaches TDC no energy has been transferred, thus no work has been done and no power has been made. [/QUOTE]
