Can someone please check my math?
I have the Federal Mogul Hyperutectic flattops with four valve releases and am trying to figure out my compression ratio. The motor is a 351W .030 over, Felpro gaskets (.040?) and Windsor Junior heads with 58cc. I'm not sure how many cc below deck those pistons are?
Thanks,
Dave

easy... you do the math

swept volume + clearance volume divided by the clearance volume again

Dave it will depend on you deck height. How far the piston is in the hole at TDC.

Alex,
yes, I know but the engine isn't together yet. I thought that someone has used this combination before and would know the answer. Its a 69 block. What would a good guess be for how may cc clearance volume? Then I could do the math!
Thanks,
Dave

put modeling clay in the valve reliefs then remove the clay and drop them into a measured cylinder. this will give you the cc of the reliefs (if the piston manufacturer doesn't provide them)

OK, her's what I know so far- The machine shop said that I won't get 10:1 with these pistons on stock resized rods without decking. He said that he will measure it to see how far down the piston is, and parallel deck as needed. Also he said that the advertized 58cc chambers will also be bigger- I'll cc them to find out- and I still need to polish the chambers to ward off detonation, which will add a couple more.
So he figured to deck them at least .020 but he will do the math first. Is there an ideal ratio for this application?

if you're paying for square deck make sure you get one and not just a standard old deck height job

Thanks for the advice Ron, I know these guys well, and do trust them and their opinion. By the way, they charge $160.00 for a standard deck and $200.00 for a square deck. The bulk of their work is high performance, mostly mud racers and some circle track stuff.

If yo can get it down to a zero deck then you should get close to 10 to 1. If you give me the piston part number,and a head gasket thickness I can try and copute it for you as close as posible with 58 cc heads.

Alex, Piston# H336P-030. Gaskets are Felpro 260-1028. I was told they would be .040. Do you advocate a zero deck? With the four large valve releases the pistons are almost dished.
Thanks,
Dave
