Default CR Help

Can someone help me calculate the CR for my new engine?

This is what I got.

Hand ported 5.3 Heads with LS6 sodium filled valves (flowed 291 int and 226 ext) These have not been milled at all.

6.0 Liter stock short block. I think it is the LQ9. It has dished pistons. Again the sort block is stock.

GM metal 6.0 liter gaskets.

Not sure if you need anything else.

Enter Piston Deck Clearance Negative If ABOVE Deck (Use '-') : -.008

Is this correct then? Just wanted to make sure it really is ABOVE the Deck.

Sorry if I sound dumb on this issue. First time for everything.
