CALCULATING THE
COMPRESSION RATIO
Uncorrected Compression Ratio
The uncorrected compression ratio of an engine is
the volume of a cylinder plus the volume of the
combustion chamber divided by the volume of
the combustion chamber.

Uncorrected Compression Ratio of Production
Engines
• 11.5: 1 engine type 587
• 12.2: 1 engine type 657
• 12.25: 1 engine type 717
• 11.25: 1 engine type 787
• 11.75: 1 engine type 947
Corrected Compression Ratio
In a 2-cycle engine, a portion of the stroke is
opened to the atmosphere via the exhaust port.
The corrected compression ratio is calculated as
the piston closes the exhaust port.
