compression ratio
can anyone tell how to figure compression ratio without taking the heads off?
I have a sbford 302,stock pistons w/.030 overbore, `78 351W heads w/ 202 intake valves, milled(don't know how much). :? |

You would have to know what piston and what chamber CC you have to figure this. Later J.Smith 4621 racing

the only way I'd imagine that this could be done would be to fill the cylinder @ tdc & bdc with fluid & calc from that,though sealing may present a problem

You can buy a compression gauge from an auto parts store that you put in place of the spark plug and bump the engine over. It has a reset on it that locks it in place while you are bumping the engine from the driver seat, or you could have a buddy do it while you watch it. Put it in every cylinder and write it down on paper, then add them all together. Take that number and divide it by the number of cylinders, and you will get a round about compression ratio.

:shock: All that will get you is an average cranking psi :roll: |
