figuring compression help needed.

On the other hand, he has said he already owns most everything, so you gotta assume he's going to bolt it together. I'm with you tho, for me the learning myself is a strong part of the hobby (i'm not a mechanic, nor a machinist). HTH, Lefty71

What does "owning most everything" have to do with anything here? Not bein a smaartass, but help me out here. I "own everything" with my slant six build, but I am still measuring everything out for proper final machine work and figuring exact compression, not going by "rated and listed" numbers, but going by "actual measured" numbers. The two are never the same. Ever. I'm not trying to be an *** here. But unless the OP takes graduated, real measurements, he is only guessing at his final outcome.
