Im no expert but thats how I understood it.
Torque is a measure of the sum of the cylinder pressure multiplied by the leverage of the crank at each point during the cycle effectively.
To simplify it excessively, think of it as a measure of average cylinder pressure.
You can have a lower peak pressure and still a higher average pressure, if you apply the pressure for longer.
