I used the 4.28 bore and .349 to get a theoretical flat top volume. With the piston in the same place I CCed it. I subtracted the cc fill from the theoretical volume. After your question it guess I should have added the .021 to the .349.


I hadn't seen the screenshot of the calculator prior to my previous post.

It looks like it's correct there.

I ran the numbers before looking at the data on the screenshot and got 9.75.

Were you/are you really going to use that big of a gasket?
