I have always thought of connecting rods as straight and the crankshaft axis being line bored in the same plane as the cylinder axis. Is there an advantage in offsetting the crankshaft slightly to compensate for the difference between the compression and power stroke pressures ?
Is the answer different between diesel or petrol engines, or for two or four stroke ?
