Also, assuming you've got something like 6 cc valve notches I think 12.6:1 compression is a high estimate. You'd need a 65 CC combustion chamber which on a 906 would be milled until the step pad was gone, although people have done that.


A rough guess is that around .100 has been milled off, the step pad is almost gone.
The valves are 2.14/1.81s.

I talked with Hughes after getting 200psi cylinder pressure and this is the answer:

I went ahead and did some calculations.

Based on the altitudes listed below (choose yours) here is what I estimate your compression ratio to be.

At sea level to 500ft above you would be approx. 12.5:1
750 to 1500 ft above sea level you would be approx. 13:1
2000 to 3000 ft above sea level you would be approx. 13.6:1
3500 to 4500 ft above sea level you would be approx. 14:1

Good luck,
Kevin

My elevation is 600 ft.
Cam is installed (and dialed in) centerline at zero, after Hughes instructions.

It might be a high estimate, but I know it's too high for pump gas.
