I used Summit's calculator and it came in at 9.64. I don't know if I am doing this correctly. If 9.64 is correct then 93 octane will work fine.
Compression Ratio : | 9.64 : 1 |
Total Displacement (in.3) : | 357.16 |
Total Displacement cc's : | 5855.08 |
Inputs to Summit's calculator: Bore 4.030, Stroke 3.5, Volume 62.8 cc, Piston Dome/Dish 0.0, Deck Clearance .072, Compressed Gasket .033, Cylinders 8
It could be the deck clearance (.072) that is reducing this engine's compression ratio.
