    Turning radius

    I'm not sure about the radius, but doesn't the shortened arm just allow quicker steering response? I didn't think it would change radius.

    What is the correct way to measure engine compression?

    I am trying to understand what you are testing. When we test compression on aircraft engines, we measure the difference between the air pressure applied and that which the cylinder maintains. Just to look for leaks in the valves or rings and overall health of the cyclinders. Is there a difference?
