To get a accurate calculation, you need to know the Piston Deck Height as
well, not just the chamber volume, and head gasket compression
thickness......

Most factory shortblocks have the piston so far down the hole you need a
flashlight to find the piston top!.......not good for building cylinder
pressure.. ;)
