Advanced LS6 head calculation Ok, my LS6 heads (243 casting) have had extensive machine work done by the previous owner but I don't know everything and I'm trying to get an idea for my piston to valve clearances.
Here's what I know:
62.88cc combustion chambers:
The chambers have were milled to acommidate my 4 inch bore.
11.1:1 CR with the Ross pistons included with the SLP 402 stroker kit.
I need to figure out:
How much have the heads been decked?
Any ideas?

You can do a rough estimate by using .007 per 1 cc taken off the head. This is going to be dependent on the 62.88 cc being accurate as well. I'm not sure what the LS6 castings start off as maybe 64.5 cc?

awesome. anyone know stock combustion chamber volume for year 2004 243 castings?
I was thinking that the since these were taken out to accomidate a 4 inch bore diameter that they would be decked even more. I'm not sure how much volume is gained by changing the bore diamter?
