If only I could attain higher compression without destroying the originality of the engine. The only mechanisms available to me to raise the compression are a new piston design sticking way up into the CC or by welding up the combustion chambers, which is not a reasonable choice. I don't see...
Thank you for your valued input. I did speak with a fine gentleman who owns an engineering company dedicated to flathead Fords in New Mexico. Though the preferred method to increase the compression ratio in an L-head engine is by way of the cylinder head and combustion chamber, he feels the...
I have a question concerning replacement piston design and flame front in my 1924 Dodge Brothers L-head engine. The engine was designed with 4:1 compression and a massive 297 cc combustion chamber. The factory piston rises from the deck by 0.115" at TDC. The spark plug is directly over the...
