raising compression on L92s

i have a set of L92 heads if i am not mistaken, they are 69cc. whats the lowest you can get these, 62 cc? what about getting them smaller, would welding the chambers be recommended? any info would be helpful, since i wanna bring the chambers down to at least 60cc.

I'm running these on a 402 w/ 2cc pistons. Milling .030 of them brings me to 65cc and right around 12:1. WHat pistons are you running?

No you would want a custom dome if you wanted TONS of compression.

I think the problem with milling past a certain point is the fitment of the intake. I think this was brought up here not too long ago.

Not a cheap one....

the RIGHT piston would be the key, but I'm not selling them and neither is anyone else.
