If you have an engine other than a small block Chevy, you need to find the main bearing bore of the motor or snug a cap onto the saddle without a bearing and measure the diameter, then divide that figure in half for the radius. The remainder of the calculations are exactly the same as stated above for the SBC.

{{Note1}} Some dynamic compression ratio calculators (like KBs) ask for an additional 15 degrees of duration be added to the IVC @ 0.050" lift point figure. This works OK on older, slower ramped cam lobes, but the faster lobe profiles may need to have 25 degrees or more added to be accurate.<br>
 +
 +
{{Note1}}If the intake valve closing (IVC) point isn't known, it can be calculated:
 +
# Divide the intake duration by 2
 +
# Add the results to the lobe separation angle (LSA)
 +
# Subtract any ground-in advance
 +
# Subtract 180
 +
This result does not need to have any amount added to the IVC point, like the KB calculator calls for.
