Twin cam, 88 1450,  bore 3.750 strock 4.000
  Bath tub shaped ccombustion chambers
  3.7500 X 3.750 = 14.06 X 4.000 = 56.24 X .7854 = 44.17
  X 2 =88.34   88.34 X 16.39 = 1447.89
  1447 ÷ 2 = 723 + 85 Lcc head area + 11 Lcc head gasket
  area + 4 Lcc piston value pockets and piston- cylinder
  ring area and piston not flat with cylinder top.
  1447 ÷ 2 = 723 + 100 Lcc = 823 ÷ 100 = 8.23 to 1
  Harley manuel specification is 9-1 standard.
  If necessary deck head .010 at a time and recheck Lcc.
  Have value job done before necessary checking.
  The grinding of value and seats can add 1-2 Lcc to formula.
  Engine at different rpm will strech rod and pistons .040,
  if it happens it will just go into head gasket area.
  Average 1450 & 1550 stock gasket is .055 to .060 thick.
  Installed head gasket is a little less .005 to .010.
  Install HD adjustable pushrods and cover kit it will make the job easyier,
  and all lifter will have the same preload.
  Install S&S HL2T spacer in hydraulic lifter, spacers will stop lifter
  bleed down at high rpm and engine starting up easyier.
  Always use oil marked motorcycle oil.
