Default How to find out chamber size and cr of heads

To make it short, traded some parts collecting dust for a set of stage 3 6.0 heads. All I really know about these heads beside the flow numbers (got the chart), is that they were set up for 10.1 compression with a 2cc piston and a .048 gasket and 4.125 bore. Have no idea what the shop was told about how much the piston was out of the hole or how much the block they were going on was decked. Am hoping I can run them on a stock LS2 and have @ 11.1 compression. If nothing else, I'd like to know the exact specs in case I put them up for sale.

In that case, I think the best way to figure out what size combustion chamber you have is to get a Combustion Chamber Kit (I believe it's called a Beaker). Check with some sponsors to see where to get one. You'll basically fill up the chamber with water to see how much it holds.
