Just a general question to those who may know better than I. I've just
completed a port & polish & modified
the combustion chambers on my TR6 head and have calculated the compression as
being close to 10:1 (bore 78,
stroke 95, Combustion chamber 39cc, Piston dome -6cc, head gasket bore 79.3,
compressed gasket at 1.11 and
zero deck clearance). Given that this is a fairly hot street car, is this too
much? Are the modern fuels up
to it? I have the opportunity of fitting a second head gasket to reduce it down
to about 9.1:1 but would like
some advice first? Another related question, are there thicker head gaskets
available for an overbored
(2.7litre) engine? If so, I think that would be better than using 2 gaskets.
All opinions welcome. Thanks.
