Pat knows alot about these engines ,he does this stuff everyday ,listen close to what he talks about!!!!


One other thing to take into account for static compression and that is the deck height of the block,usually a undecked block will have the pistond down in the bore some ,instead of whats called a 0 deck height ,this will chang the static compression numbers some.
Pat may be able to tell you the standard numbers of what these pistons are below the deck if your block has not been decked.

If the block was just decked to straighten it ,you may need to wait untill the pistons are installed to get this number.If the block has been 0 decked then use that figure to determine static compression.

If you look at the static compression calculator it will list all the specs you need to determine what you have,make a list of these and write them down,they come in handy during the build and for future reference.[/QUOTE] it can be as much as 020+ on the piston in the hole from O deck
