<TECH ONLY> Calculating Compression Ratio
Math:
Formula 1:
CR =
[{(B/2)^2 * S*Pi}+Vcc+Vp+{(B/2)^2*Pi*(DH+TG)}]
[{(B/2)^2*Pi*(DH+TG)}+Vcc+Vp]
Where:
CR= Compression Ratio
B = Cylinder bore
S = Stroke
Vcc= Combustion Chamber Volume
Vp= Piston Volume
DH = Deck Height
TG = Head Gasket Crush Thickness
Pi = 3.1415
Formula 2: (I prefer this one)
Compression Ratio = (GV+DV+HV-VV+PV) / (GV+DV+HV-VV)
GV (Head Gasket Volume) = Bore(in) X Bore(in) X 12.87 X (Head Gasket Thickness in Inches)
DV (Below Deck Volume) = Bore(in) X Bore(in) X 12.87 X (Inches Below the Deck)
HV (Head Volume) = CC's
VV (Dish, Valve Pocket, Dome Volume) = CC's
(Minus for dish or valve pockets, Plus for dome)
PV (Volume displaced by Piston) = Bore X Bore X Stroke X 12.87
