There must be more to this story. What Nissan crank could possibly fit our Duratec? How did it start out at 12:1 anyway?
If the crank could be made to fit and had a longer stroke, he would have needed either shorter rods or special pistons to keep the pistons from rising above the block and jaming into the head.
I doubt that anyone with enough knowledge to know how to make a longer stroke crank work with the proper rod and or piston modificaions would be doumb enough to blame the increased compression on the rings.
My apologies to Shakespear, but something is rotton in Ireland.
