I'm looking at getting the heads flycut when they come off. Is there any rule of thumb for 2.0L heads on how much of a cut equals how much of a change in combustion chamber volume?
Just curious.
Thanks!
What is your objective? Why do you want to flycut the heads?
What is your target CR?
If you are planning to use race fuel only...ok.
If not, you can get 9.5:1 without any cutting...and that requires good fuel.

I was thinking 9:1. Currently have 59 cc's. With an effective deck height of 0.045 (deck + cylinder base shim), I calculate a CR of 8.6.
No, not planning race gas. But would certainly accept 91 octane as a necessity.
Am I off in my thinking and/or calculations?
Thanks,

I had my just "kissed" as I was in the same boat as you. Brought me up the the CR I wanted and took off almost nothing.
sorry, what is the deck height?
If you flycut the head, you will still have valve contact...its the same result...you are moving the valve closer to the piston.
A normal 2.0 liter with the shim and gasket removed will not hit.

He says he has .045" DH. I feel a minimum "safe" is .040". I've run as tight as .037".
Numbers from the friend who built the motor scared me into tearing it down with only 2 hours break-in logged.
Claimed 0.016 deck height. If I haven't already introduced the pistons to the heads, it's probably only a few rpm away. So at the VERY least the heads need to come off.
My thought was this: The existing deck height (I will remeasure to confirm) is way too low. Pull the heads, take a few thou off. Pull the jugs and shim them to bring the deck height up to .040. The question is: "how much to take off to reduce the combustion chamber volume by x cc's?". Right now I'm at 59 cc's. By my calculations, I'd want to get the CC down to 56 cc's. (with 0.025 base shim that should give me 9:1).
I will likely go through the bottom end as well to confirm all the bearings have the proper clearances.

I am running +.002" deck and the stock head gasket(only because of the rules). So I have about .025" total deck. The pistons are not hitting the heads. You can just see were in some places it is knocking the carbon off. I can only turn the engine 6000rpm because of the stock springs. I would say safe min deck of .035" would be fine. Len knows how to calculate the amount to cc's.
