    9.4 is now a meaningless number. it increases each time the block is bored or decked or head skimmed. when all 3 are done, it rapidly increases. this is why using thin gaskets without having accurate data, is a dumb idea.

    But i still dont know if the pistons will hit the head or not with them sticking out thirteen thou? Thats my main question.

    terryo- When you bore out a block the compression ratio decreases not increases as you a putting the same ammount of air/fuel into a bigger space?? Is this wrong?

    So u think a bigger area will take the same amount of air the standard bore size does <_<

    The bigger the combustion chamber the more air it will draw in.
