Alright fellas, I have a hypathetical question. What would the compression be on an certain fe that has C4AE-G heads, 360 flat top pistons (std), 390 rods, 390 crank, fel-pro head gasket?
4.05 bore
3.78 stroke
rod 6.49
compression height 1.76
deck 10.17
combustion chamber 73.2
gasket .041
and NOT figuring the dish and/or valve reliefs in the piston:
Ok, something's goofy with the calculator. I enter everything in and the final result is 1.35. Am I missing a step or what do I do with this number. If this is right, what does it mean?
You probably put 10.17 in deck height, which is what I did the first time. What they want is the piston-to-deck number, which I think is .030 in this case. I shoulda warned ya...
