Cubic Inches
After an engine has been bored 0.040 over -- what's the cubic inches?
Thanks |

Re: Cubic Inches
Bore X Bore X Stroke X .7854 X the number of cylinders..

Re: Cubic Inches
I come up with 204.6 CID. A person can see though that it doesn't change all that much. Even if you go 0.125" oversize it would only be 213.6 CID. I still use bore radius squared X pie X stroke X #of cylinders. It comes out the same way though.

Re: Cubic Inches
If one wants to increase size then just stroke it. But, I think he was just curious about his new size.

If Ford had used that bore and stroke to make their first V8, it would have been huge at 401 CID. |

Re: Cubic Inches
It is a big bore 4 cylinder. Original Willys Jeep was just 134 cid if I remember correctly.

Re: Cubic Inches
I've built lots of engines, both over square and under square,...the short strokers ran
better. I also thought about building a short stroke Model A with about a 3.750" stroke, that would make 177 ci with a stock bore. You could run the RPM's up and it would be easy on the mains,...more like a modern engine.....just a thought. Also a longer rod would be a plus.. djm |

Re: Cubic Inches
Changing the stroke on a stock B or C crank weakens them. Putting a large radius on the crank throws would help.

Re: Cubic Inches
Joe, I had a CJ2A with a worn out ‘go-devil, and a ‘56 wagon with a ‘super hurricane’ six that I completely rebuilt. If I remember it was 226 and bored out to almost 232 I think. Ran great after rebuilding.

Re: Cubic Inches
The reason we are knowledgeable is that we are OLD! Maybe not smarter but a little more wise?

Re: Cubic Inches
The six volt starter wouldn’t crank the new tight six engine. Had to pull it to start it the first time. Ran about 50 easy miles on light oil and changed it. Ended up swapping the manifold and 2 barrel carb for single barrel because the 2 had a tendency to flood on really steep climbs. I took that old Jeep places I never would try to take one now.

Re: Cubic Inches
Many times , a too tight engine won't last very long . The tighter it gets , the friction causes heat and rapid wear .

Re: Cubic Inches
Everything was assembled with clearances according to factory service manual specifications. (I still have that old manual). Most likely my starter was as worn out as the engine was before the rebuild. Engine ran great for years after.
