NEW 360 LA CRATE TEARDOWN

I get about 8.9 to 1 compression with your piston and bore dimensions, a Fel Pro 4.18 bore and .048 compressed thickness head gasket, and a guess of 72cc for 596 casting head.

If you do nothing but change to a Cometic head gasket with a 4.06 bore and .027 compressed thickness you are around 9.37 to 1 compression.

Then of course as the chamber gets smaller the numbers go up a little from there. Make sure you measure your chamber volume to get better numbers.

Thats about what I get using an online compression calculator.
Thankyou Bob!

360 crank knurling?

also thankyou for helping me find my own post! Hahaha, Im still figuring out stuff on this forum as I am a newbie.
I should have been on here years ago but no excuse.
Was curious about different assembly plants and different pistons but not knowing wont stop me from going forward.
