I'll be there, not sure if the car will be ready by then though, the list of jobs to do seems to be growing faster than I can knock them off!

just out of interest, what is the safe maximum RPM for a well balanced standard crank?

Last night I borrowed a beaurette and measured the CC of the bores and the volume of the dome part of the high comp piston so I could confirm the final compression ratio with Guy croft. He will be skimming the head to get me a CR of 12.2:1. Looks like I'll be on super unleaded from now on.





I am starting to get serious withdrawal symptoms now, just want to get her back together asap so I can drive it again...

Good work. The std combustion chamber in an unskimmed head is 35cc IIRC.

Thats a shit, we worked out I needed something like 43cc's to achieve 12:1. I may end up with more compression than I need. I'll double check my figures tomorrow but I'm pretty sure we needed something in the forties combustion chamber wise.

No, they poke out of the top of the deck by 4.5mm, so we brought it back down by 10mm exactly, measured the volume at that position, then subtracted that from the total, or something like that, I have the formula written down at work. However we got our figures they are spot on as they were confirmed by Guy Croft who double checked all our calculations with a formula he has on his PC. I estimated the compressed thickness of the gasket to be 1.2mm and that was included in the figures too.

I hate maths Razz LOL

Perhaps mine had been skimmed, I think the std piston crown was 15cc and the 1.2mm std MLS gasket works out to 7cc

Yeah, I think we arrived at similar figures, I'll look tomorrow though for sure. Thanks mate.

Cranks are fine all day long at 8500 so a 9k limit I'd say is the max, Thats what mine will be running, I know you;ve said I guess but what Pistons are those, Again I think your copying me,!!

I just checked my notes, the chamber volume I need is 42.27cc, if it's only 35 I'm going t6o end up with a CR of around 14:1 Shock

Back in the early 80's my fathers old Triumph 2.5 PI was running a compression ratio of 14.5:1 In those days 5 star leaded petrol was available. That's not that far of a diesel is it?LOL

Of topic I know but what was the octane rating of 5 star petrol?

I think the standard head chamber volumes are around 38cc in the head alone.

Jim - I wrote an Excel spread-sheet for calculating compression ratios on this engine for when I was building my engine [and others].

If you want I could pop over one eveing, could plug your figures in?

Ok Rich thanks, thats what GC used over the phone, might be an idea to double check as I seem to be a long way out. Give us a shout when you are free. Smile
