compression ratio
I have found some World Products Windsor SR. 64cc 2.02 valve heads with about 600 miles on them for 600 bucks. I want to put them on a stock bottom end (with Arp rod bolts). I come up with a compression ratio of 10.06:1
This is using 4cc as the piston valve relief and .01 for deck clearance. Does this sound right? It seems high to me. Stock is way lower than that.
any help would be appreciated.

RE: compression ratio
thats why i think my math is wrong:
4x4x3.5x12.874= swept vol 720.74
64+9.5 (gasket)+4cc(reliefs)+2.05 (deck clearance)=79.55
800.29/79.55=10.06
am i doing something wrong? is the relief number wrong or deck clearance wrong?

64+9.5 (gasket)+4cc(reliefs)+2.05 (deck clearance)=79.55

If what you have done is correct, 720.74/79.55=9.06
Unless I am missing something, I have no idea how 64cc heads on a stock lower end can give you 10:1 compression.

RE: compression ratio
This is a good online calculator
http://www.csgnetwork.com/compcalc.html
I came up with 8.8 using following numbers, and that sound right to me.
4" bore
3" stroke
4.10 hg bore
.041 compressed thickness
64cc heads
-4cc pistons
0.010 deck height

RE: compression ratio
ok, its a 351W. doesn't that have 3.5 stroke?
here is where the numbers come from:
swept volume+total chamber volume = compression ratio
add720.74 to 79.55 which equals 800.29. then you dividethat by 79.55.But I see now that this gasket number I got from somewhere is WAY wrong. Either way, I got this info out of a HP book and it is way off i guess.
now i'm really confused.

RE: compression ratio
ok, oops, you have a stock 351 bottom end.
dont worry about all those formulas, just use the link.
with 3.5" stroke the 351 has, I came up with 10.1 compression
with .03 over bore more like 10.2 to 10.3
