Can it be done? 20V head on a 2.3 NG?

Yup, I'd imagine that in order to fit 2 more valves into a combustion
chamber, you might have to make it a bit bigger, and/or dish the pistons a
bit more. However, to drop the CR from 10:1 to 7:1 you'd have to add almost
26cc to the volume. That's a 50% increase! That seems _highly_ unlikely.
On the same topic, has anyone found a site that has all the various piston
dimensions, combustion chamber volumes, pin heights, rod lengths,..... for
I-5 Audi motors? It would make these (entertaining) theoretical debates more
factual.
Cheers,
Brady
