Engine rebuild nearly ready. What cc does +40 give?

PostPost by: SAKO » Tue May 22, 2012 11:56 am

Just a quick question gents.

I'm awaiting return of my bottom end, which is currently being rebored +40 using Omega pistons from PM.

Out of sheer curiosity what cc will this now give?

Burton used to have a list showing the increase in cc in relation to overbore sizes, but it doesn't appear to be there anymore, and I'm too thick to work it out. :roll:

Cheers.
Sako.

Hi, 40 thou is 1mm so do your bore x stroke based on adding 1mm to the bore diameter.

If I remember my high school maths, the formula is 2 times pi times radius (half your new diameter) times stroke

Won't be much different from standard I don't think

Capacity is Pi*Rsquared*stroke*no. of cylinders.

Your 40 thou overbore gives 1595 cc.

A whole 38cc! Well that's enough to power a good lawnmower. I hope my spine can cope with the extra G- force. :)

Cheers Guys.

Oops yes 2 x PI x radius is circumference....with apologies to my maths teacher, turning over in his grave no doubt
