I have a diamond dome piston. I dont know the volume right off. The chambers have been polished. Im wanting 14.5 to 15:1cr. About how much do i need to have shaved off? The regular 91cc and the dome suppose to give i think 13:5.
Thanks

If the heads are the newer generation TFS stuff....they should CC ~ 87cc as dlivered.

Lem i bought these from you about a year ago. How long have you had the new ones? These are the ones that have the engraving if that matters. They dont have the m87, just a -2.
Thanks alot

The M87 are machined chambers. The reason the machined "10 bolt" chambers are 87cc is because the original were always ~ 87cc.

Mr. Waters I presume?

The next step is to find your job card on the pistons and call Diamond if need be. You are going to have to find out the volume of the domes, in order to calculate the compression ratio. IF there is no paperwork on the pistons,,, then the old school way is to mock up your engine with grease around the pistons rings and take the piston 1.000" down deep in the hole. Using your beret, fill the cylinder with fluid. Subtract that amount, from the calculated volume of a cylinder with your bore size, and a stroke of 1.000" (V=pi x r2 x h). The difference is the net volume of the dome. Then use the compression ratio calculator on Diamond's website homepage.

For every .005" you mill off of a TFS A-460 head, you reduce the chamber volume by 1 cc.

Hope this helps,
Charlie

Every chamber needs to be CC'd and nothing assumed.....i.m.o. As Charlie suggested....things aint what is published.

The dome vol is 12.5cc, 1.235 comp height, 4.530 dia.
78cc=15.5cr
83cc=14.7cr
Im having .030 shaved off. I'll cc them when i get them back home so i'll know what they are. But is.030 safe whether their 91 or 87?
Thanks

you should be ok,just make sure you check piston to valve! Very Happy

Check your piston to valve clearance before you start cutting the decks

I suspect that the v/p clearance will be okay.....with a .030" cut make sure the intake to head fit is still good.
