<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>On<font size="2">e point which should be emphasized, is that the valve head shape and valve depth have a huge impact on chamber volume.<br>
Different style valves will have different shape on top, ie flat vs dished, and for any given thickness, a head with new valves & seats will have considerably less volume than one with valves that have been faced a few times and deeper re-cut seats.<br>
To really know what the CR is, the head volume has to be measured.<br>

>> In order to calculate the combustion chamber volume desired you need also know the bore, stroke, head gasket diameter and thickness, piston to liner clearance, depth of the top ring and deck clearance of the piston (or pop up if you are running any). These all make up the total volume which you need to calculate the chamber volume you need for the static compression ratio you desire. Also when doing a chamber volume test don't forget that the valve head thickness will affect this measurement.<br>
