Formulary Compression ratio (varying)


Stroke and height difference in a four-cylinderengine


The compression ratio can be increased through …
- material loss from the cylinder head (planing),
- a thinner head gasket,
- more compression of the piston,
- longer con-rods.

A positive value for the difference in height means that either from the cylinder head must be removed material or a thinner head gasket must be used. A negative height difference will probably only be achieved with a thicker head gasket. 06/14
