Ok, another basic question (engine related)

It's a matter of taking the 0.616 liters (3.7/6)of air/fuel mixure you sucked in on the intake stroke and compressing it into a space that now has less volume. Compressing 0.616 liters into the volume of a golf ball will have higher pressure than compressing into into the volume of a baseball.
The way this thread was going I was worried nobody was going to point that out.

It's like saying that a piece of dynamite loosely packed versus tightly packed has a different stick size...
