Hello,
I am in the process of rebuilding the engine of my 100. In order to get
some more punch from it, I am thinking about fitting DW forged pistons
with an 9,5:1 compression ratio. You all know that if you talk to three
people (all of them not A-H 100 owners) you will get at least four
different opinions. Statements given were:
"You will get detonation at this compression rate"
"You will loose all smoothness of that engine"
" A motor with that CR is only drivable on the track"
"You will have to buy three head gaskets every year"
I am aware that most of this is probably nonsense, but... maybe..??
I guess there must be experienced folks on the list who are running
engines with a 9,5:1 compression ratio. Please come forward and share
your experiences and thoughts with me.
Regards
Thomas Willig
