Lets look at a 0.060" reverse and we a talking a little under 1 degree change in Piston TDC to crank journal TDC

Bore = 4.0 Stroke = 3.25 Rod Length = 5.7
Actual Piston Stroke 3.25019600382
Cylinder Volume 40.843168 CI 669.299602 cc
Engine Size 326.745340 CI 5354.396814 cc

Wrist Pin Offset = 0.06
Crank Angle Piston TDC -0.46932221356 Piston BDC 179.15635067565

Wrist Pin Offset = -0.06
Crank Angle Piston TDC 0.46932221356 Piston BDC 180.84364932435

Where you can really see a difference is with an inline motorcycle engine where the crank line has been moved 10 mm.

Help us slow ones out a little bit. What exactly am I looking at and how would it affect power?
