I build 10.5:1 /6 engines pretty regularly. 93 octane and single plug. That's about the limit without going twin-plug, but all of them on the road have been fine.
Why don't I see this in Type 1 or Type 4 engines? Some rough math suggests a 2.0 @ 8.5:1 is an 85hp engine, while the same engine at 10.5:1 would give almost 120hp. Just thinking out loud..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

On the other end of the scale the 2007cc Gene Berg engine in my '67 bus has 7.3:1 CR, 120hp and is 22 years and 4 cars old.
Never been apart, has at least 80K miles on it. I should do the heads this year, then it will be good for another 80K. |

I just visited my wifes cousin in San Diego. a Fellow aircooled brother who I wish I had met 25 years ago when we got married. He most likely could have built that motor for you... He did two or three per day for Bergman...they had a little assembly line thing going. He does not work there anymore, but had some great stories and a garage full of not only a cool double cab ( that he wont sell...I asked) but tons of engines apart, in process, etc... Full machine shop also. All collecting dust (he is in his 60's) rich |
