Hello dear forum users, I had a question about the compression ratio of my Honda clone.

Now I have a 14cc combustion chamber
The standard piston is not a flattop.
Head gasket thin steel.

according to my calculations, the compression ratio is 10.3 - 10.5: 1

I want to install a flattop piston, but then the compression ratio will be already 13: 1, I'm afraid that this is of great importance.
Do I need to install a thick head gasket?
or will the motor withstand this compression ratio? I use the motor on karting in races, the engine speed reaches 7500 rpm.

What is your in the hole measurement currently with the dished pistons outer edge? Which flattop piston are you going to use? There are a couple of different compression heights.

I will use piston 68 mm, 0.2 mm to the edge

So if your in the hole stays the same with a flattop (.008) and you use a .027 mls gasket you will be at 12.3 : 1. While apart you may want to cc the head to see if it may be slightly larger than 14cc. That would lower it a bit more.
