Re: bore & stroke (hybridreams)

aight....thanks....next question: compression....for example: 10.6:1...now that means the piston travels up the cylinder 10.6 in. (?..is it measured in inches) for every one stroke?

No, the CR is as follows:

Trapped Volume = (Head Gasket Volume) + (Deck Height Volume) - (Piston Crown Displacement Volume)

Now:

(Cylinder Volume + Trapped Volume) / (Trapped Volume) = CR:1
