    i just changed my crankshaft from 4.375 to 4.250 x4.375 bore
    i poored my chambers and get 121 cc with 7.276 rod and .070 gasket
    i figured it is 9.65:1 cr
    each .010 is .24cr
    so if i want 10.9:1
    i need .050 more rod length
    5x.24cr= 1.2 cr +9.65=10.85:1
    .050+7.276=7.326 rod length

    this seems long compared to my other engines but they have different
    piston pin height
    does any one have a similar bore/stroke and what is your rod length and
    compression

    this is a .100 tall brad 5 heads bae4 tafc4.375 je piston
    i just need to know before ordering rods if this sounds right
    thanks

    Rod length

    I run a 7.306 rod with a 050 gasket in the same combo if that helps. That wasn't the crank on E Bay last week was it ?
