Default LS1 stock SCR

On the calcs that I use (with negative piston deck) I never get 10.1:1 SCR.
I know they do not take into account the gasket bore size.
But could that be the .018>.023 descripancy we get with calcs?
With -.005 piston to deck it is 10.28:1
and with -.007 it is 10.33:1

The only time I get close to the advertised numbers is if the piston to deck is 0, 10.17:1

Could someone shed some light on this?

Assuming 3.903" cylinder bore and 3.940" gasket bore, the difference in combustion chamber size that is overlooked is on the order of ~0.055cc. (Insignificant?)

...I have no clue how much that changes SCR. Maybe you can plug that into the calculator and see what it's worth.

what are you using for gasket thickness ?

i got 10.21, using -.008 deck height, .060 gasket and 3.898 bore

are you taking into account the ring land volume?

the SCR on an LS1 is 10.25:1 I thought? LT1 is 10.5:1

My pistons were .007 out
and the stock gaskets .053 compressed.
3.898 bore
3.622 stroke
flatops = 0
Head chamber volume 66.67 ? (that is the only part I never measured)
Are the stock chambers larger than 66.67 ?
Chambers would be in excess of 68 cc for my original motor to be 10.1:1
There must something I'm missing?

I wanna knooooow

I'm trying to figure out the stock LS1 static compression (at least the range)
A lot assume 10.1:1 but it seems more in the 10.2x:1
I just want to find out to adjust my DCR calculator.

i thought they were advertised at 10.2:1...and i used 66.67cc chamber also...still not sure on gasket thickness, my stock graphite miced out at .054 uncompressed, i think they would compress at least another .003-.004...the whole gasket thing is still a mystery i guess

You need to take into account the ring land volume, which is the volume around the top of the piston right above the 1st ring. This will be:
Bore: 3.898"
Top Land Length: ~0.200"
Top Piston Diameter: 3.848"
Right above ring land: 3.854"

so, area=pi(r)^2

((3.854-3.848)/2)+3.848=3.851

3.851/2=1.9255

(1.9255)^2*pi()=11.648

(3.898/2)^2*pi()=11.934

(11.934-11.648)*.200=0.0572*(2.54)^3= 0.937cc's

So, you need to add 0.937cc's to your combustion chamber volume. I bet this will get you closer to your number!!!

Your calculation seems good to me, except I am not that familiar with the input values.

It looks like you did this calculation and that is what was called for.

RIght you are, I am going to keep that equation, sure is a lot shorter than the one I did!!!!
These are approximate numbers, I am not certain what the height or the slope of the angle on the stock piston is.

Here's a direct calculator

Yeah, that's what I thought ~ 67.37 "actual" chambers
