273 mild build-----

Yeah, I didn;t even consider CR. Wouldn't take much to get the motor uo to 9.1 or 9.2


Carefully calculate the static compression ratio and cc the heads. My 273 had new pistons when I got it, it calculated to 7.8 to 1 compression. Pistons 45 in the hole and 65cc chambers. It had 115 cranking with a mild 216 @ .050 and 110 lsa hyd.cam. I tore it down and milled the heads .032 thou and the block about .040 to get 9 to 1. I am currently running a comp 270 solid. With 224 at .050 and .468 lift before the .022 lash on a 110 lsa. With lash it runs more like it has about 10 degrees less duration. Very slight lope and pulls pretty good for a little motor. And 150 cranking compression.
I've heard the Summit cams work well in the small engines.
