Please double check my CR for me! Well, Im still new to engine building, and would really appreciate if it you guys could double check this for me to make sure im not overlooking something on the compression ratio.
bore: 3.898
stroke: 3.622
stock 5.3 heads: 61cc
piston dish: -8cc
and gasket thickness is .050
Using a calculator I found on google its coming up to 9.996, so pretty much 10:1, which is my goal for the CR.
This calculator dosent ask for the deck height, though I have seen some that do. Is the deck height nessicary for calculating compression? I believe I read somewhere that the gen III engines use a - deck height, the piston extending past block very little to compress a little more. True?
Thanks a lot guys!
