The X1 refers to a high compression engine. They first occurred in 1940. To be more specific, high compression is a relative thing. No higher than 5.9:1. Before that, all engines were dual fuel, meaning they started on gasoline and switched to tractor fuel. Those engines had a lower compression ratio. In addition to the 5.9:1 there were others with higher compression engines, 5000 foot altitude and 8000 foot altitude. Don't know what their compression ratios were and don't remember the suffix for them. ....
