How would removing metal from the combustion > chamber (enlarging the chamber), increase the compression ratio? Depends on where the metal is removed: Remove metal where the cylinders seat and the combustion chamber gets smaller whi«e߸/R gets higher. Remove metal from the combustion chamber itself and it gets bigger, making the C/R decrease.
