Craig, reversion is when the engine sucks water in the cylinders when the valve overlap is too long for marine use.

Thanks for the info. So, I guess overlap is a bigger concern with small displacement engines (I was told by comp cam that the lope is greater at idle with small displacement engines than large with a given cam). Craig:moped:
