Before i get flamed, I have spent the last 2 days searching for an answer and have come up short.

I have a lq4 stock short block. I am thinking about putting a set of stock 706 heads with gm mls 6.0 gaskets on it(i have them laying around). By my figuring the compression will come out somewhere around 10.5 to 1. Does that look right to yall. Is there any reason why I could not use these heads?

The engine will be going in a s10 that is being built for a sport truck NOT a race truck. I do know that the heads are not the best choice. It is going to be more bark then bite.

Thanks for the help

 

Without all of the specifics, and a few guesses...

Cylinder Head Volume (cc):-------61.150
Piston Head Volume (cc):----------0.000
Gasket Thickness (in.):-----------0.051
Gasket Bore (in.):----------------4.010(?)
Cylinder Bore Diameter (in.):-----4.000
Deck Clearance (in.):----------(-)0.005(?)
Stroke (in.):---------------------3.622
STATIC COMPRESSION RATIO:--------11.558

 

^That doesn't look right

 

What part? The font?

 

Does that formula take into account the dished piston?

 

It does, I didn't. I had them backwards. With a dished piston, 6.7cc's, results are below.

You had me goin there for a second. Then I saw that you had not accounted for the dish.

Cool. thanks for the help.

 

Ah, well that looks more reasonable
