Default A New Twist

Do you do, your own wrenching? Do you think you have a good handle on the internal combustible engine? Here's a new twist ,I never saw coming!
It's a new variable compression ratio, that adjusts from, 8:1 to 14:1 and is coming out in the new Infiniti.

I have Adblocker on, so I can't read much of it.

I'll learn about it elsewhere.
