Bore = 4.155"
Stroke = 3.5"
Rod = 6"
IVC = 76 ABDC (36/76 - 292 seat-to-seat - 110 ICL)
VE = 100%

cylinder pressure around 47.1" hg @ IVC
Stan
What is the projected compression pressure ?
About 407 psi / 828.5" hg

Luckily, that was before the cell phone was invented.

I'd guess the torque reaction when the throttle was blipped, or even just when it fired if the throttle was partially open, flipped over the hoist. #-o
