head gasket and deck question
Thanks for the reply. I plan on VP fuel, I have been doing the calculations with a online compression calculator. this is what I get. with 4cc valve notches, the deck heigth of "0" and 72cc chamber I get 12.884 compression. If I use 65cc heads it shows it would be 14.075. these calculations were done with a head gasket compressed of .020. I most likely am wrong. I dont know what cam to use yet. It will be in a duster.(dont know final weight) 4 speed car. will be raceing only. I have a long way to go on this project as of yet, so I am not in a hurry. This information on compression is used with The Ross information and information from indy and my machinist. Acording to Ross. The pistons sit .017 in heigth with a standard deck (what ever that is) and the compression heigth is 2.065. this if before decking the block. Given that information my research shows that with 65cc chambers that the compression would be in the 11 range. Now with all that. I realy have no idea if I am doing that right or not. I want the most power out of this with out melt down, but want a very strong motor. My over all goal over time is to get into the 10's. I still have to tub it and get the rear setup right. Thanks for all the help.
