just curious, but i have both a 9.8:1 sohc and a tlev 9.3:1 and the power difference isnt that noticable, i believe it was only supposed to be 3 hp at the crank, so why should it be so different with a DOHC on a SOHC block when it gives the same CR

The dohc head on a block with sohc pistons has a CR of 9.2:1, which is .4 lower than it should be. So each dohc piston raises the CR .1. The combustion chamber on the dohc head is larger that that of the sohc heads, this is why using the dohc pistons with an sohc head raises so compression to 10.3:1. And why is lowers the overall compression of a dohc head used with a 2.0L block with sohc pistons. It is my theory that the tlev sohc head has a larger combustion chamber lowering the CR.
