85 mm bore mate,these would work better for a cvh in my opinion,with the cvh head 55cc,thats not skimmed,would work out to be around 7.9-1....8.0-1,ive gone down another route cos these were9.01 with a zetec head and i want to go lower

Are you running a decompression plate still?

I have these Rod & Pistions a ferriday de-cat plate on a zvh lump.

Im temped to remove the plate and run 8.5.1 if correct? and lower boost but a better turbo GT28 or GT30.

why dont you just send your cvh head to ferriday and he will do the combustion chambers for you for 160 and get 8.0-1

no m8 i'm running one of sitech racing zetec head gaskets i use to run a de-comp plate with a felpro but they spat there dummy out with 32psi plus nitrous.. i dont think ferriday engineering will be able to machine the chambers enough.. unless the head is standard i had no chance with my head..
