Oh, here's why.

Stock E7TE. 64cc
TRW Flat top piston with valve relief. Valve relief = 5.5cc.
Total combustion chamber size 64+5.5 = 69.5cc

4.030"x3.00" = 306ci.

Cylinder volume = (pi)(r^2)(h)

pi = 3.14159265359
r = 4.030/2 = 2.015 x 2.54 = 5.1181cm
h = 3.00" x 2.54 = 7.62cm

(3.14159265359)(5.1181^2)(7.62) = 627.08cc

Now take cylinder volume divided by total combustion chamber size.

627.08cc / 69.5cc = 9.02. That's your CR.

If you really want to get technical, stock CR would be 8.89:1
