While everyone is talking about it... How do you convert to compression ratio???? I want to know what my compression ratio is.!

bump

The stock compression ratio is 9.6:1. If you have a stock head, block, and pistons then your compression ratio is 9.6:1. To raise the compression you can either mill the head/deck or install higher compression pistons.

I'm not quite sure I understand the question. What are you trying to convert?

Yeah, I don't understand your question.

damn, OK I have a milled head. And I would like to know what kind of compression ratio I have. My compression is 248. How would I figure out my compression ratio.. I know it was originally 9.6:1.. I know all about the raising the compression shit. I just want to know how to figure out the ratio. simple question.

sounds like about 10.5:1 or close to it

How much did they mill off your head? Did you ask the machine shop?

I think it was a little over .02 or .03

thanks :thumbsup

.02 would give you about 10.1:1 and .03 would give you about 10.3:1
