<VV> Real compression ratio's (was 102 HP FC Engine)

Ray,
THE TRUTH is just as you found out. Almost every Corvair engine has an  
actual CR that is different from the specs. Just as the advertised  horsepowers 
are way high, so are the CR ratings. it was a game back  then....and a 
short cut for Chevrolet. 
 
I don't think that anyone has computed the real CRs for each and every  
engine. But if you would like to, then start with the Corvair Tech Guide II and 
 work from Kirkman's charts.
 
Regards,
Bob Helt

So what  is the truth here?  What engines have what actual  compression
ratio's?  If the 102 is the highest CR the data I have is  WAY off!  Real CR
numbers would be nice to have especially considering  todays available pump
gas.
