Hmmm....I asked a friend of mine who has some expereince in these matters...mass inertia...length of the stroke.....piston diameter, bouncing valves on their seat etc......

She tells me that generally speaking a long stroke is a good thing, but that given the choice....a large diameter just seems to get the job done ....something to do with the conversion of mechanical energy, friction and creation of additional heat.....I didn't understand everything she was telling me but will I'll see if maybe we can get it all sorted out later today....I'll report back later!
