Talk:Oversquare

I added some extra information. Hopefully it went correctly...

I speak cautiously because I'm not an engine designer, but it seems to me that oversquare engines have their uses. Many statements in this article seem to be from a passenger-car perspective only, which gives the article an unnecessary bias. I would like to see someone with knowledge of other applications (marine, aviation, stationary, etc.) edit this article to remove that bias and more fully explore the trade-offs between different bore:stroke ratios.

 * Perhaps several articles should be merged into one dealing with the whole bore-to-stroke ratio issue. Long-stroke engines generally develop greater torque, while short-stroke engines can run faster. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 18:00, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
