Calculating Compresson Ratio
I know the bore and stroke of the engine, but not the compression ratio. This is a running engine, i.e. heads on it. How can I figure out the ratio.

That was a comical read...
There are, however, enough astute engine builders over on www.yellowbullet.com that can give you a basic idea what the dynamic compression is based on cylinder pressure.
Specifically, the guys that do the 'pump gas drag' motors. Trying to squeak every last pony out of a given combination by maximizing dynamic compression without detonation.

What a read.... LOL
That writing craftsmanship was suttle but to the point.....
I am still trying to figure out who road the best pony on that one... LMAO
By the way, all of you forgot to factor in the 3/4 duration on that stroke and compression calculation..
When you get it figured out let me know what you come up with....
