Hey guys, this may be kinda dumb to some of you, but could someone please try and explain what bore and stroke signify. I hate reading things and then somethin like bore and stroke comes up and ruins the whole article cause I don't get it. Someone clarify please? Help would be appreciated.

Ok thanks for the help. Now could someone explain how the compression ratio is masured. I know the lower the ratio the more you can sqeeze into a cylinder creating more power right? So uhhh ... what does for example 8.5:1 or 9.0:1 mean? I don't get that too well either.
