2.8L deck hight

[Guest]

I'm trying to find the deck hight specs on the 2.8L, preferably the genII engine, but am also interested in the deck hight specs of the genI, as a comparison to some things I have in mind.

I looked in teh specs sectsion and didn't see it there.

I beleive I have it in a book, but have lent that book to someone and will need to get it back.

TIA

The blueprint block deck height for gen 1, 2, and 3 are all the same, 224mm.

Ok, maybe I'm using the wrong term, but how far down the hole is the piston at TDC?

Just interested in the genI and II 2.8L

Using the 224mm block deck heught, 2.99" stroke, 5.7" rods, and the following piston compression heights:

Gen1 2.8 LO 1.578"
Gen1 2.8 HO 1.599"
Gen2 2.8 1.608"

This puts the pistons ~0.046" below the deck for gen1 LO, ~0.025" for gen1 HO, and ~0.016" for gen2.

I was hoping someone would have this actually measured though, I did, back when I first built the engine for the Jimmy, but quickly forgot it and unfortunatly lost all that info because my laptop got FUBARed.

thanks though.

These are blueprint values, and should be good enough for any calculations. If you want it more accurate, you would need to measure your particular engine to account for tolerance stackup. Using measurements from another engine would be no more accurate than using the nominal values.
