Head volume and Compression
Quick question simple answer.
1990 L98. What is the compression? Is it 10:1 or 10.5:1?
What is the head volume? 58 or 60CC?

10.25:1
They tinkered with pistons alot in the L98 years, messing with the final CR.
Head chamber spec is 58cc for all '113, though people who have actually had it measured have come back with different results (sometimes 56cc, sometimes 60), so there seems to be more build variance in the '113 head.

I'm looking at heads that are 62-64 ccs.
I'll lose about a point of compression by my estimations.
What do you think?

There could be an upside. I may supercharge the car, so 9.5 wouldn't be a bad place to be....ya know, while I'm at it....
