Re: compression ratio? (Type-X)
go to C-speedracing.com and go to tech, and then compression ratios.
First, you need to find the cylinder volume. You'll need to convert the bore and stroke to centimeters. Clyninder Volume= ,x(1/2 bore)sq. x stroke
You need to find head gasket volume.
Cylinder Volume=,x(1/2 bore)sq. x gasket thickness.
Find your piston dish volume, which is hard to do, so get it from the manufacturer.
Ring Land Crevice must be found.
Ring Land Volume=,x bore x piston-to-wall clearance
Find Cylinder head volume from manufacturer or other reliable souce.
So, add up all the volumes and the BDC volume of one cylinder. Say it's 497.65cc. At TDC, say it's 39.05cc. Divide TDC into BDC and that's your compression ratio. For these, it would be 12.7:1
