OK, here's a fun one for the novice to ponder and you experts to answer:

Why is the factory mechanical CR so low?

and for reference, what is the highest mechanical CR that can be physically achieved? assume no octane limitations -

I'm just looking for the design limit for the highest CR that can be / has been in a Type 4 engine using available technology.

Thanks
