2.2T upgrade

S pistons are forged. 2.2 compression will be stock with 66mm crank. 2.4 with 66MM crank will be about a 1/2 point lower and 2.2 with 70.4mm crank will be about 1/2 point higher. Port size relates more with cam selection. If using E cams you don't need to do anything with ports (T and E were same). Will probably need to rework carbs for new configuration for best power.

My ‘72 TE had 29mm inlet ports vs 32 for E I think

Richey did you use the 10.5:1 pistons and a 0.5 mm shim to get down to 9.5:1? where you using the standart T head?

29.4 cc .

I used the 10.5 to 1 pistons and added a .5mm shim . I had S heads but all heads have the same volume . I think the issue will be a ratio of 9.5 to 1 with T cams . The actual CR will be too high .

Thanks Richey.
for what I understand is that if I use the T heads, E cam, the Wössner 10.5:1 pistons a 0.5 shim
the 85mm S cylinders, E cam. the CR will be 9.5:1, which will make it posible to use single plug. Does it have some side effects to use the 0.5 shim?

[Richey]

Yes , this is want I did with no side affects . Every engine is a little different , so take measurements and do the calcs for your application .

[Babuski76]

Thank you very much. It seems to be the simpel solution and not having the pistons machined, to meet the 9.5:1 CR.
Does any have a guide to do the CR calculations?

Do any of you guys know a good zenith rebuilder?

He’s using a 66mm crank with 10.5:1 pistons so final CR will be around 10:1 .. add spigot land spacers as required to bring down further. High compression 2.5E should be a sweet engine!

[Babuski76]

Rosco. Do you mean that with the 0.5 shim the 66 crank and the 10.5:1 I will end up with around 10.1:1? And dont know the spigot land spacers, can you elaborate a bit?
