When calculating compression ratio, is it a no-no to use more than one shim under the cylinder to get the desired DH?
Thanks, Bill |

How about NO shims?
Any advice on that one? Stu |

QUOTE(stugray @ Dec 13 2011, 10:07 AM)  How about NO shims? Any advice on that one? Stu I'm re-doing my 2316 right now......shooting for 10:1. I'll get 9.9:1 at zero deck height with a .056" shim. Based on the CR calculator at CB's website, if I put in no shims, I'd have minus .056" deck height which would yield 11.6:1--too much for me on 93 octane and probably get valve interference as well with the 9560 cam. Be mighty careful if you go that close! Of course, your registers may be higher up or your piston pins as well, so you've got to measure your specific deck height carefully--here's the link to the CB calculator- http://www.cbperformance.com/enginecalc.html John |
