- Does anyone know the stock combustion chamber volume of the cylinder head for a 1977 MGB, US spec.. I need to calculate current compression ratio in order to determine how much to skim off the head t

- My only caution, based on many years experience in the trade: Unless you are planning to use the car for racing only, using racing fuel, do not exceed 9 to 1 compression. Your engine is virtually gu

- I would have to agree with Lawrie here. The only other thing I might add is this. If you insist on increasing compression there are better ways. All are more expensive and more complicated, but bette

- Interesting story, Bill. My other car ('67 Barracuda) nominally has 10.5:1 compression from the factory, and it does run on 92 octane, although I had to back off the timing 2 degrees. Undoubtedly the
