281 Specs?

[InvisibleBlade]

Not sure if this is the correct place for this... kind of a wierd question..

Anyway, I have a class where we must calculate the compression ratio for an engine. Naturally, I picked the 4.6L from the Terminators lol. I've searched around on SVTP and the internet for some specs, but I couldn't find anything concrete. The information I need is:

- Gasket thickness
- Piston-to-Deck Clearance
- Piston Dish Volume
- Combustion Chamber Volume

*All specs must be factory ratings*

I already have the Bore = 3.55 in3 and Stroke = 3.54 in3.

Any help is appreciated and specs can be in any volume(cc's/in3).

Bueller?

Gasket thickness I'm not real sure on but its probably around .040
I think the piston to deck measurement is .013
Piston dish is either 17 or 18cc
combustion chambers are 52cc's

BTW, what class and school are you in, I'm from the LaCrosse area!

I'm at Western TC for the automotive class. I have to wait till next fall to start the program "officially," but I'm taking some classes now so it will be easier later.

Thanks for the help too!

Cool, I went there when it was WWTC for the welding program about 6-7 years ago.

Yeah I have been going to college for about six years lol. Hopefully AutoTech will be what I actually want to do.
