HERE IS SOME INFO WE ALWAYS FIND HELPFUL WHEN WE ARE IN THE SHOP. WE HOPE THIS INFO CAN HELP YOU TOO.

 


TO CALCULATE COMPRESSION RATIO

COMPRESSION RATIO EQUALS:

Cylinder Displacement + Deck Height Displacement + Head CC's

Deck Height Displacement + Head CC's

Example: Bore = 90mm     Stroke = 82mm    Deck Height = 1.5mm    Head = Dual Port Flycut .050

Therefore:

521.66CC + 9.65CC + 46CC ( See Formula )

                                                        9.65CC + 46CC                                 = 10.37 to 1        


FORMULA TO FIGURE  FOUR CYLINDER DISPLACEMENT:

BORE X BORE X STROKE X .0031416 = TOTAL CC'S

EXAMPLE: BORE = 92      STROKE = 69

92 X 92 X 69 X .0031416 = 1834.74 CC'S

TO CALCULATE DECK HEIGHT DISPLACEMENT

DECK HEIGHT DISPLACEMENT EQUALS :

Bore x Bore x Deck Height in mm x .0031416

4

Example: Bore = 92mm         Deck Height = 1.75mm

Therefore:

92 x 92 = 8464 x 1.75 = 14812 x .0031416 =46.5333

Divided by 4 = 11.93 cc Deck Height


TO CALCULATE CYLINDER DISPLACEMENT

CYLINDER DISPLACEMENT EQUALS:

Bore x Bore x Stroke x .0031416

4

Example : Bore = 92mm      Stroke = 69mm

Therefore:

92 x 92 x 69 x .0031416

Divided by 4 = 458.7cc


TO CALCULATE HEAD CC NEEDED FOR ANY COMPRESSION RATIO

Cylinder Displacement + Deck Height Displacement - ( "Desired Compression Ratio?" x Deck Height Displacement )

( "Desired Compression Ratio" - 1 )

Example: Cylinder Displacement = 458.7cc

Deck Height Displacement = 11.93cc

Desired Compression Ratio = 9.5 to 1

Therefore:

458.7 + 11.93 - (9.5 x 11.93) Divided by (9.5-1) = 42.03 CC


TO CALCULATE YOUR MPH

MPH = RPM X TIRE DIAMETER ( IN INCHES )

DRIVE RATIO

MPH in Fourth Gear Figured with 6000 RPM and a 4:86 Ring & Pinion w / 1.13 4th Gear

MPH EXAMPLE : 6000 x 25 Inches = 150,000

                                                       5.49 x 336          1844.64      = 81.32

RPM = MPH X DRIVE RATIO X 336

TIRE DIAMETER (IN INCHES)

RPM in Third Gear Figured with 25" Tall tire and 1.48 3rd Gear with 4.37 Ring & Pinion.

RPM Example = 50 MPH x 6.47 Drive Ratio x 336  =  108,696 = 4348 RPM
