You did attack me personally. "Pot, meet kettle" to me is an arrogent attack at me suggesting that you are greater, or wiser than I am. It was a whitty remark that I followed with a quick, less mature response. I apologize for that remark, but understand that it wasn't coming out of nowhere. You can't just call someone inferior and then expect them to say nothing.

As for the TDC vs BDC dwell time, I think we are on different pages. You guys are correct that the piston velocity is greater nearing the bottom of the stroke, but the actual time that the piston sits at the bottom of the bore while the crank rotates is what I was talking about. I think that we have mixed definitions of what dwell is. If not, I dont want to keep going on this anyway, so I call a truce. No hard feelings.
