Looking for compression answers Im needing some on trying to figure out what my compression ratio will be on my current motor build

4.8 flat tops

Using
3.78 bore
3.622 stroke
57 cc heads
0 dome volume (no dome dish or valve reliefs)
-0.005 deck height (0.005 pistons above deck)
.052 head gasket thickness
I come up with 11.1:1
Using 56cc head, and is actually my guess as to where you're at, which G probably did too, I come up with 11.3:1
If you go to a .045 headgasket (ws6store) it would be 11.51:1 with 56 cc
And I like the idea of a .045 gasket
Make sure you measure valve clearance, .035 is quite a bit off the head.
