Are these calculations ok

[LongBaz]

34 CC in head

22 CC in piston

9.3 CC in std gasket

7.4 CC in valve cut out and piston below deck.

72.7 CC TOTAL

Swept vol = 593.5 CC + 72.7
_______________________

72.7

CR = 9.16 : 1

I have 1.28mm head gaskets, can you you get thicker ones.

Thanks
Barrie

Hi Mate are these burreted volumes? How come 34cc heads, 14 bolt? 1.2mm thickness gasket is quite thick anyhow. Which leads me to ask what pistons? need deep dish.

Is that compressed?

[LongBaz]

Hi Mac
Yes these are burrted volumes. The heads have been worked on to get 34cc.

Hi Alex
No, that's not compressed.

Yes that's the exact figure I got from OE Elrings

[LongBaz]

So it's 1.28 compressed?

[Sardonicus]

That's 120k miles compressed fire ring measurement, that's not going to change any noticeable/worthy amount fitted, nice to see your getting on Baz

[LongBaz]

Yep it's making progress
Probably going to get some MLS gaskets.
Also bought adjustable pushrods to make life easier.

Edited to say I am not the one building the engine. 'Thank God' I hear you say

Bazzer, you thinking of going a little thicker on the head gasket or just fitting the MLS for a safer option?

I have a pair of unused Cometics here. They are 40 thou but are for a 94mm bore. Remind me please are you at 94mm now or 96mm?

Does that imply you're sticking with the stock rockers? Well worth going rollers while you're doing it...

I'm 96, going for the safer option. Thanks for the offer.

Would like to have gone with roller rockers, however the cost is a factor.
