i'm now at the same point putting a euro piston 2.0L d-jet motor together and need the wisdom of the 914 club board (jake, brad, dave...).

i am a first timer at cc'ing heads (i made another post about that) and think i did an OK job, at least, one that i'm going with. all my chambers are about 61-62 cc's like joes in the above referenced post.

i measured the deck height and got .03" .03" .035" and .04" (by the way, for a novice, it would have been nice to put inches or mm on the numbers, i didn't know if i was way off or .......)

from what i've learned, i will but the base gaskets on (above done w/o) to give a little more deck.

what's the CR? (stock crank, 71mm)

any other comments? (i'd like to lap the cylinders in the heads tomorrow )

8.4 according to this site:

Engine calculator

i'd run a min. of .040 deckheight and then flycut the heads as necessary to achieve an 8.5:1 ratio.

What cam did you run??? 8.0 is the max I would ever go with the stock cam......

try to get the DH between cylinders a little more even, too.

.010" is a lot of variance.

i've got 049, 049, 049, 050 on 50cc fly-cut heads.

toss the head gasket and shim up if you need to, of course.

listen to jake 'bout the cam

(disclaimer: still learning this stuff myself; YMMV)

many thanks for the replies

Jake: cam is stock. thanks for your advice

i'll remeasure tomorrow.

thanks for the engine calc link. if i deck at .055 w/61cc the CR is 8.1. is that still too much for a stock cam?
