I just completed my engine build and payed more attention to my static compression ratio than my dynamic compression ratio. Anyhow, I am now concerned my dynamic is too high. I already planned on running 93 octane gas.
Static = 10.29:1
Dynamic = 9.56:1 (Based on 4 different calculators)
I get 8.24 DCR using Kelleys which I believe gives a more accurate number because it uses the seat figures ;
not a made up duration number ( 0.050 + 15 ) like some of the other calculators
Thanks for the help! I think I was using an incorrect value. I used the 4.10 gasket because that is what AFR recommended for the heads. Will the extra hurt anything?
There's no problem with a gasket bore that's only .04" too large. In fact, sometimes it's necessary to make sure it matches the combustion chambers. If it's running well, don't go taking it apart just to install new gaskets that may not match the heads. The 8.24:1 dynamic sounds about right. But that's only correct if your block was zero-decked, because if it wasn't, then your static isn't 10.266758:1
