Re: Made an "un-popular" decision with my 307!

On a rebuild using the flattop piston that will yield 8.7:1 with 64cc piston (.04 compressed gasket, -.02 in the bore) you can achieve ~9.4:1 with its 58cc chamber and choosing a head gasket with a ~.030 thickness.

Both of those items will help the 307.
See thats why i joined this forum! Good help and a lot of knowledge!
