There are several means by which the compression ratio of an engine might be reduced although all involve extensive mechanical rework to accomplish.
1) Remove the heads from the motors and grind the compression chambers of the head(s) to make the area larger.
2) Install replacement pistons that have a different shaped piston top (usually a larger "dished" area)

How do you calculate compression ratio?
compression ratio = compressed size / uncompressed size the ratio should be between 1 and 0 (multiply with 100 to get the ratio in percent) a ratio greater than 1 means, the compressed size is actually greater than the uncompressed size a ratio just below 1 means bad compression the lower the ratio, the better the compression
How does compression ratio affect engine efficiency and performance?
Engine efficiency is increased though compression ratio by allowing a more thermodynamic energy to be converted into mechanical energy. Energy transfer is the key to efficiency.
What is the compression ratio of diesel engine?
between 18 and 25 to one depending on engine I agree. It all depends on what engine you have.
What is the total displacement in cubic inches of a v6 engine when the compression ratio is 3-3 and 1 half Does it equal 173 cubic inches?
The compression ratio doesn't deal with the displacement, the bore and stroke do. If it's a modern engine it should say the size of the engine in liters. You can use this to convert the engine size to cubic inches. A 173ci engine is a 2.8L engine when converted.
What is the compression ratio for an engine if each cylinder has a maximum volume of 500 cubic centimeters and a minimum volume of 50 cubic centimeters?
Compression ratio is exclusive to each cylinder, though they will all have the same result if they are the same dimensionally ( and they always are) > Divide the total engine capacity by the number of cylinders, this gives the capacity or swept volume of each cylinder (bore * stroke) > So in a 2.0 (2000 cc) litre 4 cylinder engine, each cylinder has a 2000 / 4 = 500 cc swept volume (bore * stroke) > The combustion chamber is the volume remaining at top dead centre (TDC) > Compression ratio = volume at BDC (swept volume + volume at TDC) / volume at TDC
High Compression ratio not used in spark ignition engine?
S.I Engine lower compression Ratio is 6 to 11
What is a critical compression ratio?
The lowest compression ratio of a compression-ignition engine that allows a specific fuel to be ignited by compression ignition.
What is the highest compression ratio?
Compression ratio simply means the difference in size of the original vs compressed unit. Compression ratio is a commonly used term for internal combustion engine piston/cylinder compression and file compression. Ratios differ depending on the type of engine or the type of file being compressed. In file compression, 7zip has the highest compression ratio.
What is compression ratio of a fuel?
It depends on the engine.
What is the compression ratio of a diesel engine?
The compression ratio of a Diesel ranges from 14:1 to as high as 25:1. I agree just depends on engine.
Is theoretical compression ratio equal to actual compression ratio for an SI engine?
No, because there is always some leakage.
What is meant by the compression ratio of a combustion engine?
The compression ratio of a combustion engine is the relationship of the largest and smallest capacities of the combustion chamber. A higher compression ratio is advantageous because the engine operates more efficiently, extracting more mechanical energy from the fuel. Most gasoline-powered engines have a compression ratio of around 10:1.
Compression ratio of K20A3 engine?
9.5:1
How do you lower engine compression?
You usually lower engine compression by using head spacers between the engine block and head or by using shorter pistons.
What is normal compression for a Ford 7.3L diesel engine?
It has a compression ratio of 17.5:1
Compression ratio of the internal combustion engine is defined as?
The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine, or an IC engine as it is more commonly called, is the ratio of the volume the highest capacity of the combustion chamber to its lowest capacity. In the IC engine, the piston makes a stroke, resulting in the compression of the air in the combustion chamber - the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at the top of its stroke, is the compression ratio.
V engine Compression ratio?
The compression ratio of engines is a value that demonstrates or shows the ratio of the volume of its combustion chamber from its largest capacity to its smallest capacity.
