       alot of it is BS mainly because its impossible to reach the
       amount that is claimed it can do , its all just theory but its a
       dam good place to start figuring . Biggest thing is the parts
       cannot stand that pressure if you can get enough fuel to it ,
       bike engines are far better built to start with than a chainsaw
       so the crank can stand alot more pressure . One thing that had
       my mind working was at 1.20 to 1 ratio on the computer dyno in
       the TSR program it showed almost double the hp compared to 1.47
       to 1 but was going to burn pretty much 2 -1/4 fuel lines of
       alcohol/ nitro to keep it running so way more fuel than what a
       single carb could produce

       i'm with you ehp.  the bike thread was based on reed block
       motors.  pipe has huge effect.
       my program does not account for crankcase volumes as of yet, but
       it will in the future.  when i worked the numbers with the
       calculator, for a piston ported/box muff motors.....only saw
       about a 5% increase in fuel charge entering the crankcase when
       just the volume was changed, depending on rpm.
       have not estimated a pipe motor with numbers.  not really an
       interest of mine.

       Please help me understand the putty. Is it the volume underneath
       the piston?  I believe you could get accurate volume at bdc
       without the putty but then there is no way to measure the
       underside of the piston at tdc correct?  Unless you did this
       with cylinder on which is the no drilling thing, drill the
       piston to let air out I assume?  I have so many questions.

       Interesting thread that I had not seen and need to read more
       carefully.  I'm still confused as to the definition of crankcase
       volume and exactly what volume this includes.  Does it include
       the volume under the piston?  Everything under the piston at
       BDC?  Is transfer volume included?
       Then there is the question of what volume is this being compared
       to - it makes sense to me to compare it to displacement, but
       ratios will of course be different if a different denominator is
       used.

       Please help me understand the putty. Is it the volume underneath
       the piston?  I believe you could get accurate volume at bdc
       without the putty but then there is no way to measure the
       underside of the piston at tdc correct?  Unless you did this

       yes, the only reason for the putty is to help find the volume on
       the underside of the piston itself, when it is at BDC.
       yes.
       the last one, yes, kind of the idea....but it is not really just
       to let the air out.   maybe the following will help to picture
       it using the "drill the hole in the piston crown method."
       to get BDC case volume:  with cylinder removed, piston at BDC.
       seal the piston skirt to the case deck with heavy grease.  fill
       the case and underside of piston with a measured amount of oil
       via the drilled hole. done.
       one could measure the oil being put in there with a syringe and
       a length of tubing.......(buret or graduated cylinder would work
       too).
       the reason for the putty, is just to do all this without
       trashing a piston.  not really a big deal, but it you are using
       'one off' custom stuff, this can get expensive in a hurry.
       the volume of under the piston is an additional portion of the
       case volume.  like in the first photo shown in this thread, the
       entire piston does not disappear below the case deck at BDC, so
       the volume of the piston that is above the case deck has to be
       measured some way is all.
       hope it helps.
       i will clean up the thread a bit.
       reducing the case volume, can gain some rpms.  hope to show just
       how many as well.

       just volume at TDC divided by volume at BDC.  some don't include
       the transfer port volumes, some do.
       the volume under the piston is included at BDC.  the volume
       under the piston is included at TDC as well.
       without transfer ports volume included:
       case volume @ TDC = 200 cc
       case volume @ BDC = 100 cc
       so, the case volume ratio = 200/100 = 2.00
       --------------
       with transfer ports volume included:
       say, motor has only 2 trans ports, each trans port measured out
       at 5cc each. so, 10cc total trans volume.
       case volume @ TDC = 200 cc + 10 cc = 210 cc
       case volume @ BDC = 100 cc + 10 cc = 110 cc
       then, case volume ratio becomes = 210/110 = 1.91
       ------------
       the difference in ratios is 0.09
       rounding it off = 0.10
       up to you, to decide whether to include them or not.
       .....the folks who got the ball rolling on this case volume
       thing as referenced by the article linked in the thread,
       calculated the ratio differently.

       Thanks for the reply. Life threw me a wild pitch that hit me, so
       my saw play time has dropped huge amounts. When I get back on my
       feet I'm going to check a few for fun.

       ..sometimes life = dodge-ball game, with multiple hits to the
       cranium and testes.  eventually the swelling goes down.
       vegetable oil leaves a sticky film that needs to be cleaned
       using a brush.  think that something like transmission fluid
       would be better thing to use instead.  easier to flush out, and
       better for the seals.
       will you be drilling?

       This is a topic that interests me - I've been reading that
       people believe that the case volume can be too small and that
       this will hurt performance, but I do not see the logic in that.
       The swept volume of the case will always be the same on both
       sides of the piston, so there must always be "enough" volume.
       The only thing I can think of is that a full circle crank might
       block flow to the transfer entrances, but otherwise I can't see
       the problem with reducing case volume.  It seems like less
       should always be better.
       When drawing mix into the case you can have at best one
       atmosphere of pressure to push it in, and any extra volume just
       reduces that pressure differential and makes for less efficient
       pumping.  When pushing mix up the transfers you can generate
       much more pressure, but initially must push against the residual
       combustion pressure in the cylinder.
