Default depth of piston notch vs cc of relief?

just wondering with 2.125 and 1.750 cutters, how deep a cc is or half a cc? if anyone knows, save me the math lol

I used this page to get arough estimate.... emphisis on ROUGH ESTIMATE.

http://www.abe.msstate.edu/~fto/tools/vol/wedge.html

I plugged in these numbers to estimate an intake valve relief piston eyebrow:

H: .400 (approx eyebrow width)
A: 1.500 (approx eyebrow length)
B: .090 (flycut depth)
C: .750

This results in 0.02249 or 0.3687 cc

I had previously estimated my reliefs at 1cc, but maybe now ill estimate them at 2/3 a cc.

hmmmm, i have a spread sheet that may or may not work. does anyone know the depth of valve reliefs on the intake and exuast with a given cc for relief. for 0.090" cut i got a .662 cc on the exhuast side.

ok well I finally got it to work out in the equation, I think. I am in the process of making an excel sheet with all the variables to calculate cc based on cutter, valve angle, ect.

Here is what I am getting for a 2.125" intake cutter:
0.010"------------------0.063 cc
0.020"------------------0.109 cc
0.030"------------------0.151 cc
0.040"------------------0.192 cc
0.050"------------------0.234 cc
0.060"------------------0.279 cc
0.070"------------------0.329 cc
0.080"------------------0.385 cc
0.090"------------------0.447 cc
0.100"------------------0.517 cc

Granted this can still be way off, but I am going to double check on some things and make sure its right and play with it in excel. I am also going to cut and cc mine (or at least attempt to) to compair.

Nice work! Very useful info. Id love to see the equation required to find the volume of an angles cylinder wedge.

Its pretty long, my calculator took a while to do the integral lol. What I did, was take the area of a semi circle and subtracted the parts out I didnt need for each sliver for the integral. Based on some basic geometry and what not, it wasnt too bad, just a really long solution. Like I said, I will try to get it in excel. Now that I have an idea where I stand on things, I am getting everything ready for when I get the heads on Friday. Just have to wait on the exhuast fly cutter so I can modify the cutter or the head so it will fit.
