[Amc-list] Piston expansion tech question

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning everyone,
  I have a piston tech question for you gurus.  I bought a really nice set of Arias forged pistons from Ebay, for use in my 304 stroker build.  They were originally built for a 232 0.060? over build, but since there are 8 of them, I?ll use them in the V8.  Since they are 0.060? for a 3.810? bore, they measure 3.785? roughly in the calipers.  I calculated they are this small for a 1.00661 % expansion when heated up, to achieve to correct bore size.
   
  So, here is my question ? since the bore increases 1.00661%, would the compression distance also grow 1.006??  I want to effectively calculate the final compression ratio and this could be off by 0.011?.  Thanks all for the feedback!


Sincerely,
Greg Taylor :)  <><
