Ok folks,
We just finished rebuilding the motor...94mm pistons and cylinders to match...71mm stroke...but old 1.7 case...CC'd the heads and come up with 44 cc's per cylinder... Do the calculations and we come out with 1971 cc's...Great !!! But, The problem is the compression ratio is now 10.64 to 1... The question of the day: Should I take the cylinders and heads back off and shim them to get a little relief...Probably not going to get much...Might knock it down to 10 or 9.75 (if I'm lucky)... DO NOT want this thing to clatter and diesel on me when I get it back together... OK, let me have it...What are your thoughts ??? 2-OH! |

What's the deck height? You can't do it right for cheap.
Bus pistons are probably your best bet if dropping the compression is what you want to do. But you are still trying to run used pistons of unknown quality. |
