Engine Cubic Inches = Bore (in.) X Bore (in.) X Stroke (in.) X number of Cylinders X .7854

Engine Cubic Liters = Bore (mm) X Bore (mm) X Stroke (mm) X Number of Cylinders X .7854

Find the Stroke When The Bore And Cubic Inches Is Known:
Cubic Inches or Liters ÷ Bore ÷ Bore ÷ .7854 ÷ # of Cylinders
Example: Chevy 350
350 ÷ 4.000 = 87.5 ÷ 4.000 = 21.875 ÷ .7854 = 27.852 ÷ 8 = 3.482

Find the Bore When The Stroke And Cubic Inches is Known:
Cubic Inches or Liters ÷ Stroke ÷ .7854 ÷ # of Cylinders then find Square Root of This Answer
Example: Chevy 350
350 ÷ 3.480 = 100.575 ÷ .7854 = 128.056 ÷ 8 = 16.007

Head Gasket Volume = Gasket Bore (in.) X Gasket Bore (in.) X 12.87 X Compressed Gasket Thickness = gasket volume in CCs. Note : gasket bore diameters are usually about .060 larger than the cylinder bore diameter.

Deck Volume = Bore Diameter X Bore Diameter X Deck Height X 12.87 = Deck Volume in CCs.

CONVERSIONS:
1 Cubic Inch = 16.38 CCs
Cubic Inches to CCs = Cubic Inches X 16.38
Cubic Inches to Liters = Cubic Inches X .01638
CCs to Cubic Inches = CCs divided by 16.38
Liters to Cubic Inches = Liters divided by .01638
