Hi Joe.
I think Ted said he added 3 cc for the head gasket. Eyebrows on the piston
and such would be included in his cylinder volume measurement, but not his
combustion chamber measurement.
The way my calculation works these things are already factored in. Provided
that Triumph gave us an accurate initial compression ratio number. That
doesn't mean it's better, because there are other assumptions and estimates
involved.
For those that asked, I am just about to send out the spreadsheet that I
promised.
Regards,
Hugh Fader
