Wait a sec. "keep making the rod shorter until it was only as long as the crank arm radius." :nono I hope you realize in the name of all that is holy that you CANNOT do that. Why? Try to visualize exactly where the piston would be located at bdc and 90 degrees from bdc and tdc. If the rod is only as long as the crank arm radius...the piston would have no choice but to be positioned IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CRANK!!! :thumbsup I mean...for real
