Still a very nice CR for a twin plug engine. As a general rule, .5 change in the compression between 66 and 70.4 is expected.
Jeez Yoda, I did say approximately 11:1.

Given the same combustion chamber volume, the CR would increase by the ratio of the cylinder volumes.

Assuming the 89 X 66 2.5 liter has a CR = 10.2:1

The 89 X 66 2.5 liter has a 410.38 cc volume and the 89 X 70.4 2.6 liter has a 436.76 cc cylinder volume.

CR of the 89 X 70.4 = 436.76/410.38 X 10.2 = 10.8556752278
