1)Quench dome height .200".
2)Compression ratio is calculated .090" below deck.
3)KB278 was designed so the engine cannot be assembled without machining the quench dome. This was done so optimum quench can be attained. Assembly of the engine without reducing the quench dome will lead to engine failure. Note the C.R. listed will vary depending on how much the quench dome is reduced.
