what are my options for a set of forged .20 over pistons with say a 9.1-9.3 cr? I am looking for a piston ring package if possible.
If you think about it and I'm sure there are other folks that will think what I'm about to say is common knowledge but a .020 over is just .010 per side, about three hairs.
yeah. a .020 takes you from a 281 to a 283...dont get carried away with all that extra displacement! lololWhats your point? The damn piston is round it doesn have sides lol.
Its .010 all the way around which increases the diameter(bore) .020.
An overbore's purpose is not to get more displacement, its so you can clean up the cylinder walls if needed, thus needing a slightly larger overbore piston.
Even on a stroker setup were only talking like 3-4 more cubes going from a standard bore to .020 over.
Hi Lightblade, That was my point...Not alot of material being lost. Sorry if it came out wrong.
You may want to clarify that you're needing these for a 3.8" stroke. Going to be a different piston.
I have a b302 from brenspeed. I think I am going to use my oem block and have it honed cause it looks like its going to be hard enough to find the pistons in standard bore for the compression I want. Ya it has 3.800" stroke so I think the compression height has to 1.18 which doesn't leave to many options.
I used Manley 594520C-8 pistons in my build. Link. They have 14cc dishes, making a 9.1:1 CR.
