No spacers......Century cylinders...uncut........

This is the easiest way to get the compression. Let me know if you need help!

I know that is why I posted!!!..

Imagine me sitting in my garage after a couple of suds beating on my calculator...it was an ugly sight!!

Peace....BartG

After a few beers the math pretty much does itself.

I had no problem with the math!......I was just wondering how I was going to suppress detonation with 36.9:1 compression!!


Peace..............BartG

No problem, just use 1437 octane

36.9:1 is great for a daily driver. Hell a diesal runs about 25:1. Thats it! We will use diesal fuel for now on and install some glow plugs.
