The time has come to build my engine, but I am not 100% sure about the compression ratio!
If I fit low compression (-1mm) forged pistons and use a 2mm headgasket I will only have reduced the CR to a fraction over 9:1! Is this too high? Will I be limited with boost pressure?
Simo if you are using two 2mm headgaskets your CR is just under 8.1:1, is this what you calculated?
Have I miss calculted?
P.S. I am presuming the standard head gasket thickness is 1.5mm.
