Compression ratio...

757 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  RangerFred
Does a thicker headgasket increase or decrease compression ratio? I'm thinking since it's gonna be taller, it's gonna increase stroke and increase cr. Someone tell me if I am right and if not, let me know. Thanks.

Re: Compression ratio... (A2 VW)

Stroke is determined by crankshaft throw, you're increasing combustion chamber volume (decreasing CR).
