Not off the top of my head but....

The CR is 10:1 and the bore x stroke is 81 x 88 mm from memory.

With that info you should be able to work it out.

Will do it for you at work tomorrow if you are still stuck.

If you could please,


i know the whole combustion chamber cc is 50cc, with 80.6 bore, 88 stroke, and capacity of 1794-6cc

but that doesn't tell me the cc of the head on its own, nor the crushed h/g.


Will you have a std head, h/g at work or info on what your measured before?

my other option is get a std head and gasket, and measure them.

Dan,

Using a bore x stroke of 80.6 x 88 mm I make the volume above piston crown to be 49.9cc so the head chamber on its own must be a little bit less than the 50 cc you thought as if the gasket has a crushed thickness of 1mm it will be 5.1 cc

If you tell me what CR you are trying to achieve I can tell you how much material you need to remove from piston/head or thickness to add to a gasket if lowering or how much to skim off the head if raising.

Hope that helps,

Doug.

Cheers mate,

but i can work it all out,


just i havent got a std head or h/g off a 1.8 zetec to measure.

but i have got a pattern part h/g, which comes in at 83mm bore, @ 1mm crushed = 5.4cc


and the 49.9cc (as i worked out too, but i rounded it up, to make it easier)
as you know is for the head, h/g and piston and bore.


i guess that the std head will be around 45cc.

you're correct Dan... i thought i had read it in there but when i checked it was nowhere to be seen also forgot to reply on here too

maybe worth giving someone like Ian Howell a ring and have a brief chat... i know you wont be a customer but he may not mind helping you out
