Default Head Milling question?

How much would you have to mill a set of 853 heads to get a 62cc chamber?

Also what would the compression be at this point? I'm thinking somewhere in the 10.8:1 to 11:1 range. Or am I way off? (everything else being stock ie. stock head gasket thickness, bore, stroke, and pistons)

And if this was done would I have to worry about PTV? (Cam is currently a MTI SII Cam 224 220 .581 .581 116)

Also how big a cam could I go with if I used this head combination and still maintain proper PTV without fly cutting the pistons?

853's are 66.67cc

66.67
-62.00
=4.67ccx.007=0.03269

Mill about 0.033"

3.898 bore
3.622 stroke
8 cylinder
62cc
0.050 headgasket
=10.87 compression

Head gasket is actually a stock 0.054 gasket but after it's compressed it's closer to a 0.050 .

Anyone on the PTV issue or the max size cam I could run with these heads? (853 heads milled about 0.033" with stock MLS gasket)
