Default Measuring compression

Ok 3.875 pistons
4" stroke
.030 cometic
.510 lift
Is it correct that I need the cc measurements of the headsto calculate my true compression?Heads were milled. I believe my machinest mentioned 77cc's does that sound right?

Default RE: Measuring compression

to be sure of compression, it's best to measure deck height and chamber volume...using the onfo you gave my calculator says 10.17 compressiom...that's assuming zero deck height
