2056 Build Options

[SteveNMaine]

I am trying to work out compression ratio of my 2056 build. In calculating head volume my understanding from the forum is that stock 2.0 heads have 57mm and the valve pockets on the pistons I am going to use is 3mm. Do I add these together to use 60mm in my calculations for head volume?

Jack, I am the TECHNICALninja...

I earned that name and did not choose it myself.

That was compression calculations 101!

You know this; you're serious too...

Do you disagree with what I posted?

If you don't take everything into consideration, you're not doing it correctly!

Thank God he's using flat tops.

Imagine the difficulty with an exotic shaped piston crown.

That is where I've used the clay before.

And, yep, during a build, speed is not a factor.

I seldom have to go back "in" however...

I want to do it exactly right ONE SINGLE TIME!


And I use the alcohol BECAUSE of the fast, clean evaporative qualities.

Every AC system I flush is finished with alcohol as to guarantee nothing is in the system when I pull a vacuum.

A single drop of the other AC flushing chemicals will kill a new system.

I call this "medically clean"- not even germs...
