Nice looking rebuild! A point of curiosity on the 8.1:1 CR: Is that a design feature you picked or just the way the parts came together? The engine I built recently (but has yet to run) has a designed and built CR of 9.1:1. ScottD

Hi ScottD.
Thanks for the comment and for catching the slight typo on my part since the compression ratio on this one is set at ~8.5:1.
To answer your question:
I usually try to only kick up the CR a little bit since most of my motors are setup for street use, and so engine knock on cheap 87 octane gas won't be of a major concern.
I could be wrong but I'm guessing your 9.1:1 CR setup probably has you running a deck height of about .040", but that of course depends on your head cc and piston cc #s (I'm assuming you're running dished or relieved pistons).
Anyway thanks again for catching my typo and good luck on your first fire-up!
Mike

Absolutely beautiful rebuild!

Thanks Mike, Interesting... I'll run with a .065 deck height, but Demello ground a 74mm crank for me and Brothers reworked and cc'd the heads to 55cc. A bit of a different configuration and it specs out at 2142cc's. Hoping it's a good combo. Good luck with your sale. SD

The engine still available but may be sold within the next 2 weeks, the potential buyer is just waiting for his tax return before he makes a final decision.
