Line 14: [[User:Graham.Fountain\|Graham.Fountain]] \| [[User talk:Graham.Fountain\|Talk]] 11:25, 28 April 2014 (UTC) == Further explanation needed: Diesel head "conversions" == There are some examples of cylinder heads equipped with a contra-piston to adjust the compression, meant to replace the original glow-plug heads in order to "convert" glow-plug engines to diesel operation, but as rightly pointed out in the article, the diesel engines require and need a substantially heavier, stronger construction to withstand the much larger stresses. The crank pin and the connecting rod are the first points to fail. Even when compression could in theory be lowered somewhat to avoid overstressing the converted engine, adjustment range will be too narrow and require careful fuel formulation to be modified in order to work properly.
