6.768"ROD 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.
