engine measurements

I am bringing this over here as a general FYI:
engine measurements

I've compiled some info from my spare engine and since questions arise, thought I would put them in one place: (maybe this should be a sticky?)

Block:
bore: 77mm (3.03"), piston area: 46.5 sq cm,
stroke: 85.8mm (3.380") (from the Mullet link to Tridec; not personally measured)
displacement per cylinder: 399 cc (1600cc total)
bore-to-bore centerline: 85.34mm (3.36"), web between bores: .330"
rod length: 130mm (5.11") (eye-center to eye-center)
Rod/Stroke ratio: 1.53
deck height: -3.6mm (-.145") piston is below deck surface;
head gasket: .025"( compressed)
piston: flat with .020 depression to 1/2" of perimeter


(comment: a 1mm ovebore gives 1640cc, about 40cc increase and recuces the web to about .290".)

Head:
intake ports: 1.675" x .85"
exhaust ports: 1.348" x .8"
intake valve: 30.2mm (1.189"), throat below seat: 25.9mm (1.02")
exhaust valve: 23.3mm (.918"), throat below seat: 18.8mm (.74")
rocker ratio: intake 1.65:1; exhaust 1.43:1

cam: base circle 1.185" dia
lobe lift: intake .202", exhaust: .217"
valve lift: intake .333" exhaust: .310"

(PROMINI cam: base circle 1.145" dia intake, 1.132 dia exhaust)
lobe lift: intake .228", exhaust: .240"
valve lift: intake .378" exhaust: .343")

valve adjusters are hydraulic piston, located in the rocker, dia .47"
cam followers are rollers

header ports: 1.366" x .975" (Supersprint is 1.60" x 1.05")
header primaries: 1.36" (Supersprint is 1.63")
header secondaries, Supersprint is 1-3/4"
header collector: 2.3" (Supersprint is 2.5"")

intake runners:
-valve back to flange: 3.5"/4.6" (bottom of port/top of port);
-intake flange to manifold interior plenum: 4.0"/4.5"
total, plenum to valve: 7.5" along port bottom, 9.1" along port roof.

exhaust runners:
-valve back to flange: 2.6"/3.45"

Good stuff. How do you measure the port roof/floor lengths?

lay a string along the runner from the port to the valve seat or use a flexible rule

Very Nice Compilation of data. The numbers are pretty much 100% what I got off of my spare motor that we (Pilo and DPR) are using to design our pistons.

So, what would be the stock height be from the spring base area to the exhaust valve stem, using a valve height micrometer on a mini R50 head?
