Okay this is kinda random and stupid but I went on Wolfram Alpha and found that somewhere between a rod:stroke ratio of \sqrt{14.3}/2 and \sqrt{14.4}/2 (this is about 1.89ish) the acceleration at BDC does not have that little "lump" (acceleration has only 1 local min/max around there). If I had Mathematica still installed I could've had it solve in general form but oh well. Fun fact!
