Default compression

its either every.3cc turns into .2 compression point it might be the other way around but im pretty sure its this way to figure your comression with combustion chamber size hope it helps.

you can just ballpark deck height and gasket thickness, it really doesn't matter because all you're looking for is the CR change from changing one variable.

I get 9.98 for a 58cc head,
given 9.35 for a 64cc head using a 4" bore and 3.48" stroke and whatever else results in 9.35 for CR.
