compression ratio
On a 3.3 motor with stock pistons (97 mm) that have had the edge milled (to clear head) acting on a 3.6 crank, what would the compression ratio be? Keep in mind that the 3.6 crank is 2mm longer stroke.

Just the displacement increase alone would yield 7.63. However, the unknown is the volume remaining that was not machined off to clear the head. Chances are, the actual result would be higher.

so you dont think that it would be high compression like 9 or 10:1? The pistons only had the edges milled down to clear the heads.

My 3.4 with 98 mm pistons with the new 3.6RS crank resulted in a compression ratio of 7.72

Oms, What piston crown hieght did you use? Did you get custom pistons?
I need to get the exact formula in order to calculate it.

Thank you, that was very informative- Im thinking the C/R will not be that high which will leave nice room for boost to be squeezed in there.

probably a dumb question, but doesn't the effective C/R change when the chambers get boosted?
anyone know an equation? Bill K

Yes, the effective - or dynamic - compression does change under boost. It is not directly proportional to the increase in absolute pressure as the effeciency of the engine will cause a reduction. More air forced through the same size holes (vavles, intake, etc.) will result in less air overall. This is one of my favorite links for approximate calculations;

thanks, pretty cool link.
I estimated VE at 70% and the numbers came very close to what I was expecting for the 3.0 L. Is the Volumetric Efficiency estimate black magic? Bill K
