[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 8221630, member: 8854"] You know that was something that I had a heck of a time figuring out. I even posted on this forum trying to get an answer. I called several places, even Kenne Bell and didn't get any useful info. Eventually I spoke to MMR and they told me factory was 18cc but diamond only makes 17 or 19cc they do not offer an 18cc. MMR told me I should go 19cc. I'm not sure how accurate my machine shops calculations are but he worked out I'd be at 8.37:1 on 19cc with all else stock. He did have to shave 0.004 off the heads to get them clean and square but I think that's so little it doesn't matter. I called MMR two days ago and told them my heads had 0.004 off and they said that was nothing and to still use stock head gasket thickness with my 19cc pistons. From the little bit of research I've done 10cc sounds like to little? isn't your compression ratio going to be to high? I would think you want to keep compression lower so you can run more boost? unless you running race gas? I really wish I had a lot more knowledge in this area. From what I hear MMR is very good at what they do so I followed their advice. Hopefully it works out :) [/QUOTE]
