you need a CR of 8:1 right, well std KR pistons gasket and head are going to give you 10:1
also are you on about early or late KR heads
the ABF head ain't much diffrent form a late KR head, ports better valve guides shorter, more clearance for cams but thats about it.
G60 pistons in a 16v would give you a CR 0f 0.f**k all :1
1) 16v pistons are domed, std 8v pistons are dished and give 8:1 when used with a 16v head g60 pistons are inverted buckets and give 8:1 with an 8v head and youd have to notch them to clear the intake valves anyway
At the moment I run bushed standard kr piston rods and standard everything else so have a cr of 8:1 to suit the turbo thus.. i need to maintain this CR.
I'm merely asking about running an ABF head on a KR block, I'm not after any advantage or anything like that. Just if one came up cheap would my CR stay the same or merely differ to something like 8.5:1? I'm not sure which KR head I'm running, my car is an 89 if that helps?
I wasn't asking about running G60 pistons, just chasing figures around the page that I linked as an example. So could I use standard 16v rods and 8v pistons to achieve the 8:1? Not that that's really relevant to what I'm asking, just interested.
Original question revised, what is the compretion ratio of a ABF head on a KR block and will it work?
