Re: stroke mathematics

[Cleary Signs]

Z22 would work to use zero deck height with that combo, compression is going to be your biggest problem.   the L i was going to build before the CA with the Z22 crank 37cc head, 35mm pin height (mahle VW 88mm forgies) with zero deck height my compression worked out to be close to 14:1 a bit to high, but your running more stroke and a turbo, what cc are your chambers?   Heath ----- Original Message ----- From: David Costello To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 9:16 PM Subject: Re: stroke mathematics that being the case I'm confused again   Z20 block = 227.45mm L20b Rod = 145.9mm Z20 piston= 35.56mm Z24 crank = 96mm   48+145.9+35.56 = 229.46   that's above deck height straight away, but that's the combo of parts people have been telling me to use   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: andrew smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 8:42 PM Subject: Re: stroke mathematics David, Half the stroke is 48mm plus the rod 145.9mm is 193.9mm and if you take this away from the block height 227.45mm it leaves you with 33.55 piston pin height required to put the piston level with the block assuming factory tolerances and an unmachined block.But before you order pistons you need to measure the cc's of combustion chamber,head gasket cc's depends on bore size and thickness,a theoretical piston dish size(eg 15cc) and work out your compression ratio according to piston bore you intend using.You may not be able to get the comp low enough with a zero deck height and large dish pistons so thats where the piston pin height can come into play.Remember the old saying,measure twice cut once.Ive done many stroker bikes and cars over the years.
