Stratton.
Stratton it quite easy:
You buy pistons from Cp thats 12.5:1 compression for a 92mmx92mm motor
CR Compresion ratior
SV Sweap volume ( Volume of the crank strokex bore)
CV Combustion Volume (Volume of the head gaskets plus the combustion camber)
CR = (SV + CV)/CV
on a 92mm x 92mm motor the SV is 611.66cc
then
12.5 = (611.66 + CV)/CV
12.5*CV = 611.66 + CV
11.5*CV = 611.66
CV = 53.18cc
Now a 92mm x 102mm the SV is 678.14
CR = (SV + CV)/CV
CR = (678.14 + 53.18)/53.18
CR = 13.78
By using the normal12.5:1 pistons I have a compression of 13.78
To gain 6cc on a 92mm pistons is the biggest of problem last time I had a look
I will take photos of the pistons and rods and post then sortly!!!
I will take of the 12.5 CP pistons and mine then you'll see the diffs!!!
