Steve,
In order to calculate the combustion chamber volume desired you need also know
the bore, stroke, head gasket diameter and thickness, piston to liner
clearance, depth of the top ring and deck clearance of the piston (or pop up if
you are running any). These all make up the total volume which you need to
calculate the chamber volume you need for the static compression ratio you
desire. Also when doing a chamber volume test don't forget that the valve head
thickness will affect this measurement.
There are a good number of web sites out there that will do all these
calculations for you and give you a required chamber volume for the desired
compression ratio. There are various head castings out there so I would not
take the thickness into account except for a rough idea.
This all creates a "static" compression ratio and will not mean much when the
dynamics of the cam and valve overlap come into play and create the "dynamic"
compression ratio.... wish there were a good method of calculating that!

Subject: [Fot] TR4 Compression Ratio Calculation Question
Hello All,
Does any one know the "chamber volumes" vs "compression ratioâ?? for the TR4
high port head. What should the head thickness measure?
All comments welcome!
Thxs. Steve
