well my engine being a metro 1275 engine 12hA83AA

i am just trying to work out what the compression ratio is all the engine is standard except the head has got 22cc chambers

i cant seem to find any spec of engine just parts of it in the haynes manual

It's

(1/2 BORE x pi squared) x STROKE
Divide that by the combustion chamber volume and that's it assuming the pistons are flush with dexk

everything is standard in the block for the metro engine

The problem is that there are plenty of different standards and with out measureing you are just guessing. Look at roberts Vauxhall engine, if he'd have just assumed all standard he'd have melted something.

You need to measure. Firstly, if the pistond have markings, it should be easy to find what cc they have in the dish, ring land and gasket can be estimated.

The only other thing you need is the piston to deck measurement.

Wrong on several counts.

(1/2 BORE squared x pi) x STROKE
Divide that by the combustion chamber volume, then add 1.

right i have done some measuring and i have come up with 10.25cr

piston dish : 6.0cc
ring land volume : 0.78cc
gasket ; 4.2cc (bk450)
piston deck clearance: 0.99cc
head : 22.5cc

bore; 70.61mm
stroke: 81.28mm

after reading around on forums i have come to the assumption that i need a 8.1cr so am i right to think that a 3cc decompression plate (temp) and another head gasket that will take me down to 8.3 compression is this ok?

i will be using megajolt and 10psi from a eaton 45

By my clac's it's 10.77:1 as the BK450 is is 3.8cc.

with an extra gasket and a 3cc decomp plate I make it 9:1.

Yep sorry got my pi's r's and sqaures mixed up!
and where's the plus one? is that a constant Paul?
i have never been taught this so just wondering?

Because it's actually (swept volume + combustion chamber volume) all divided by combustion chamber volume.

Swept volume is the pi*r^2*stroke or ((pi*d^2)/4 )* stroke.

So if you say the swept volume (all the pi bit) is SV and combustion chamber volume is CV, just to make it look prettier,

CR = (SV+CV)/CV

which you can rewrite as

CR= SV/CV + CV/CV

Or

CR = (SV/CV) +1






Personally I just use a spreadsheet :)

EDIT - obviously in my simplified version, combustion chamber volume is the total combustion chamber volume, ie, the actual chamber in the head + piston dish + ring land volume + below deck volume + gasket volume.

Another good reason to use a spreadsheet, so nothing is missed.

Dont waste your time, just get a head with 28cc chambers.

28cc head only gives him 9:1, he needs to look at his piston choice too.

cannot change pistons as that would mean taking the block apart and i dont really want to modify the head any more as if i decide to run N/A i would then have to have the head skimmed lots to bring the ratio up

so i am after using a decom plate i have useds a decom plate on my t2 1275 and that never had any trouble running 12psi and i covered 600ish miles

What sort of boost are you thinking of running if you are looking for 8:1 CR?

Oh so its just a rearangement of the CR= SV+CV all over CV equation :) I get it now

Just for the remember to Square my R's not my Pi's :$

was after running the 10psi which means running the smaller pulley but would not mind getting it running with the standard pulleys which i believe should be 6-7 psi
