Ok so as many know, I an building my dream engine. With lots of Type 4 Store goodies including Nickies, 78 mm crank, and 102mm P/Cs, LE-200 heads and a decent cam, I am looking at where I want my compression to be.
With a normal engine and quality components it seems that 8.5 to 9.5 is about the limit before heat and detonation become issues. Don't have any measurements yet but playing around with some calculations and assuming a low deck height because I have a slight dish and or valve pockets in the pistons I could easily get to over 11 to 1. But I am think that might not be a long lasting engine. Looking at going for 10 to 10.5. Thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blowup.gif) |
