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) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Yes, it can work. I guess you need to work out the camshaft to support it, and the head sealing, but they can be made to work fine. Large cylinders need to be re-ringed often (think 5-10k miles) You could get around that problem with Nickies or Alusil cylinders. That seems to be where things wear the most. Obviously you need to work on the heads for the higher CR...but I am assuming you would do that anyways. Side note. What would you charge me to put in a 3.6? PM me if you think you are the right guy. I would ship it down. Rich |
