Torque is a direct product of stroke and force (cylinder pressure) 1 lb push x 1 foot stroke = 1 lb-ft. However, torque is influenced by valve timing, through cylinder pressure, which is largely influenced by valve timing.

Gas engines always seem to have some stupid electrical problem or fuel problem. That's how I see it anyway. Rod F.
