[TR] Compression

[DAVID MASSEY]

 It's all in the head.  The combustion chambers in the later head are larger.  Since compression ratio is (Displacement + Combustion Chamber Volume)/Combustion Chamber Volume a larger Combustion Chamber Volume will give you a smaller number.


You can take a later model head and shave it down reducing the Combustion Chamber Volume and increase the CR.  It is a fairly common practice among folks who modify their cars for performance.

Can anyone tell me where the TR250 & early TR6 engine gets it’s high compression as the bore & stroke is the same as the latter engine?Carl** triumphs at autox.team.net **Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.htmlArchive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs  http://www.team.net/archiveUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/dave1massey@cs.com
