For example, if an engine running on gasoline has a compression ratio of 10: 1, the cylinder pressure at top dead center is

Additionally, the cylinder pressure developed when an engine is running will be higher than that shown in a compression test for several reasons.

* The much higher velocity of a piston when an engine is running versus cranking allows less time for pressure to bleed past the piston rings into the crankcase.

* the higher temperature of the cylinder will create higher pressures when running vs. a static test, even a test performed with the engine near operating temperature.

* A running engine does not stop taking air & fuel into the cylinder when the piston reaches BDC ; The mixture that is rushing into the cylinder during the downstroke develops momentum and continues briefly after the vacuum ceases ( in the same respect that rapidly opening a door will create a draft that continues after movement of the door ceases ).

While counter weights add a considerable amount of weight to the crankshaft, it provides a smoother running engine and allows higher RPM levels to be reached.
