I sure hope there is no pop quiz!

You did this without a calculator..I'm impressed!!

very informative video .... @universitymotoesltd : what is your take volumetric efficiency ????

If you want to get a very accurate reading of a surface area (such as the tracing of the gasket), weigh with an accurate set of scales a known area of paper, say 10 square inches, then weigh the traced paper. From this you can easily figure out the area, however only with a good set of scales. :)

@maddatta you are absolutely correct

great video. why not use r²xPi for the gasket surface? isn't it a perfect circle?and wouldn't a used gasket be more acurate for calculating the gasketvolume, since this already has the 'crush' taken out of it?
very informative, and i like your low-tech approach, just clever measuring and good old-fashioned math! nothing digital

hey amigo...this guy is great...he is very helpful to us technically speaking and very informative....
Thanks sir

I believe the higher your compression ratio, the more you will squeeze the air and fuel mixture, in turn creating more heat and increasing the possibilty of auto ignition. If you use higher octane fuel, it requires a higher temperature to ignite, so you can compress it further. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
