Default Question on combustion chamber variance

Hey guys here's the story. I had my heads milled Three times . I wanted to take off .030 but the shop that did it couldn't get them smooth enough to seal so they tried again and I finally took them elsewhere and got them smoothed out to an ra of 9-15 so they should seal this time. any way I was cc'ing the chambers and on one head the smallest was 59cc and the largest on the other end of the head is 61cc is this enough of a differance to cause a problem? if so what kind of problem? is there anything I can do to correct this issue? I am calculating cr right now thanks for any input.

a 2 cc difference is too much, see if you can hand blend the smaller ones and open the chambers a little. I would try to keep them with less than 1 cc difference.

I agree. Looks like the first 2 times it was milled the shop really didnt know what they were doing.
