CR Calculator Problems

[Superdave]

11.5:1 if you use 3500 gaskets, they have a .05" bigger bore in the fire ring I also removed some material in the chambers and polished them.

Not trying to get too off topic, but didn't I see that there are .045" gaskets?

the ROL ones i had were supposedly .045" compressed but i measured them at .040"

IE is more tolerant of things out of spec and non-standards... You can write broken code that will display fine in IE (they wrote it to accept non-standard webcode). Not sure if that's the issue here or what though.

Ok, the db has been updated for those values. The site CR calc matches the 3400 CR, but gives 9.79:1 instead of 9.8:1 for the 3500. But I think its close enough. Thanks Ben.

I tried the FF calc and got 9.64 for the 3400. Pretty damn close! Who cares about one hundredth of a point? It doesn't like the custom values still. Maybe we should address the issue with FF.

That is part of the issue. I have the Notes value working now, so the default calculation works (in the normal calculator, not the FF one). I tried doing the same fix to the user-defined values, but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I'll try again later tonight, as now its time to go swimming...

haha have fun! Hope you can figure it out.

I used an dial indicator on a magnetic stand on my 3500 block to get -.010. I used the edge and not sure how .020 is measured no matter what. I don't have the motor on a stand now so I can't try one more time.

I got .019" when I used the heel of my hand to cock the piston in the bore, but it made the other side lower. Either way, I came up with .010" as well as an accurate meaurement.

i got like .009-.012 when i used my dial indicator iirc... but i didn't use a magnetic stand, just a headbolt with a washer welded to it, and the indicator was bolted to that..

This is what I used...



Actually I first used a surface indicator to get the piston to it's highest point, then used the depth mic.

I don't have FF at work, so I can't test it, but I think I might have it worked out. Probably not, but you never know...

Back to the drawing board...

So, do any of you out there that use FF actually know AJAX programming? Because I'd love to have someone else look at the code to see WTF is wrong. Or are you all just IE haters without any programming knowledge, and just like busting my ass over this crap?

[bszopi]

It works now for all you FF users. Usually helps if I make the changes in the correct file . That's what I get for keeping the old files in the same directory though. Serves me right. And to think, I could have had this problem solved days ago if I had just looked at ALL the code in the AJAX section.

LOL don't ya love it when you find out you've been tweaking the wrong thing and can't figure out why it doesn't change? LOL
