My -2cc cuts are about .150" deep, so I'd say less than 1cc.

You got me a little confused. He is flycutting his stock pistons to accept a larger cam. There is no need for diffrent rods. No way will you loose 13 cc's with a .065' eye brow in the piston. Like I said before it will be 1 cc or less.

flycutting means machining the whole piston top,what you really wanted was cc's for .065 valve reliefs.

I wouldn't worry about it. 1 cc isn't going to make any kinds of difference, maybe 3-4 HP at most, which will be made up by the cam anyway......Go build your **** and stop worrying about it

it takes 2cc to move 1 compression point. ie. 10.3 to 10.2 = -2cc's
