Alright engine specs have been completed.
Bore and Stroke have been increased to allow you to almost make something as large as the fiat s76... But not quite. It should still be enough to cover most HUGE bored motors of the early years while still covering the smaller bore/strokes used today...
Length and Width have also been reduced slightly. Bringing it nearly in-line with mid 60's engine dimensions (when using the same bore/strokes) I couldn't find any data for engine dimensions pre WW2, but the numbers are close for 1960s and greater.
HP, Torque, and RPM's are now closer to historical values for <1930, I haven't tested this in later game years.
RPM specs has been completely rewritten. Old RPM's were way off historical max values.
Weight remains the same.
Estimated Fuel Mileage has been completely rewritten, values seem correct however more adjusting will have to be done when combined with a gearbox and stuck on the car. Values were not tested post 1930s
I now will take care of gearbox specs which shouldn't take long. I probably will not make a post about it when completed. Then I will take care of vehicle specs...
I am halfway done with RnD in the manual. Full focus will go into the manual once specs are completed.
