Which Dome angle?

[EvilBanshee]

thats from above the exh port. different ball of wax than measuring from the full stroke.

 

i dont see why people get so stumped on this comrpession ratio shit. put piston at TDC, pour oil through the plug hole until it gets to the threads, record how much oil you poured in. total cylinder volume+ amount of oil you poured in the plug hole divided by the amount of oil your poured in the plug hole. if you want to know the japanese method then pour oil in from where the piston is at the top of the exh port

 

 

Thats exactly what i did. Pour'd oil down the head when the motor was a TDC. I ended up with 14:1

if you layed a piece of plexi glass across your dome and poured in oil you may have a 22cc total volume. once you put the head on the engine and piston is at TDC you will be pouring in less oil because the piston crown is now taking up some of that volume. if your 14:1 was done correct, you would of poured in roughly 16cc like mentioned before. and i might of steered you wrong on the first page, 2cc smaller dome would raise the CR ratio by two numbers. example 10:1 to 12:1

I do believe it was done correct. My buddy has been a small engine mechanic for 35 years... Hes a very smart guy.
