Im just looking for a rough compression ratio on my engine.
I have an 07 Ultra with a SE 103" with forged 10.5 pistons and currently stock chambered factory 07 96" TC heads. Im going to be using SE MLS head gaskets.
I could not find info on what CC the stock heads are. Is there a close idea where that setup will put me compression wise?
Thats the only part of the puzzle im working on to complete my build.
They call the cylinder piston kit 10.5:1 in the SE catalog. The gasket that came out was thinner that the SE MLS ones. So im thinking were just going to call it 10.5'ish:1
Itll be close enough I suppose. Ill take some cranking compression numbers once its assembled to get a feel for where we are at.
Im going to check piston to valve clearance once the heads come back and make sure everything looks good, then I can finish assmbly and get this thing back in the bike.....I cant wait!
