You might want to check your particular engine before taking off that much anywhere. There is a lot of variation in chamber size, head gasket thickness, etc. Has the deck or head been machined before? A cleanup pass on the head will take up some of that, and a pass on the block a little more.It would be easy to mill yourself into a higher octane fuel requirement, something a daily driver doesn't need. By the way, it wasn't just sixes of the era that had low compression ratios. There are lots of four-bangers and bent-eights with similar numbers. |
