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. This said, an engine with a 5 inch stroke will have twice the torque of an engine with a 2.5 inch stroke, given that they had the same cylinder pressure. That's the theory anyway. Generally, diesels are far more ecnomical to fuel, are more reliable with less maitenance, and will last a lot longer. If you work them at all, there is really no comparison. Gas engines always seem to have some stupid electrical problem or fuel problem. That's how I see it anyway.
