Figuring Compression..Help
I'm trying to figure compression on a '88 350. Does anyone know what the stock head gasket thickness is and what the piston dish cc's are for the L98? Thanks

Kwik,
IIRC, the OEM head gaskets on L98s should be 0.031" compressed. Pistons should be flat-topped with about 6cc worth of valve reliefs. If you have Corel QuattroPro or MS Excel, you can download this file and retrive many common engine specifications, and calculate compression, volumes, etc.
