Can't Start His Wank
Well, diesel engines are a different thing again, because their thermal efficiency is dependant on compression ratio and cutoff ratio (cylinder volume beginning/end).

But that aside, a quick search didn't find me any numbers for the RTA96-C's compression ratio. Do you know where you read that?
If I remembered I'd have posted it.
