Right, that's what I was responding to. Madboy stated, "Head Chamber CC and
gasket thickness will determine compression", and I said, "I'm in no way an
expert engine builder but isn't compression ratio also subject to the piston
(flat, dished, domed, location of wrist pin , valve relief's, etc.)?" Just
being a wise guy:)
BTW, does anyone know what compression the MP 406 Short Block is rated for?
