So, in your infinite wisdom, Jonas, how does the atmosphere push the air in? Let's see...a PRESSURE GRADIENT HAS TO DEVELOP BETWEEN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND THE ATMOSPHERE. Since the engine is the only part of this equation that is dynamically playing a part to develop this pressure gradient, it can be simply described as "SUCK."
Is it correct, as far as terminology? Probably not; but it eases the description of the situation, especially when trying to describe the effects of rod ratio (which apparently is a mystical topic...ranking right up there with mastering wizardry). Seriously, guys...keep arguing terminology. The more you do so, the more it appears you don't know WTF you are talking about.
