Why are 318's low HP and torque?

I haven't confirmed but, I believe he is talking about advertised compression and not "static" compression. Even the earlier 67-69 blocks should be about 8.2.1 to 8.5.1 static? The later they the worse the compression height became and then after 72 was all downhill.

I don't think any 318 has ever blueprinted 8.5....advertised maybe. They suck. lol
