not sure on the exact ratio...but it should be close to stock....somewhere in the 9.4 range.

with the d15y8 block not decked and a properly compressed .043 head gasket compression will be approx 10.2- 10.3

why so much higher? the D15 has lower compression than the vtec, and the vtec has bigger combustion chambers, if anything I would expect a drop in compression.

yeah, that's the same head we are talking about.

I don't claim to be right, but the physics of it seem wierd.
