I thought about milling the trick flows, but I don't know the formula for calculating how much to take off in order to get the right combustion chamber size. I am a machinist, but I don't do auto machine work. Where I work, we do shut down and rebuild type work for other places. Anyhow, Chris could you be kind enough to share with me the formula you used to figure that compression ratio? Also, I didn't understand the 4 valve reliefs in each piston. There are only two valves per cylinder. Wouldn't the extra notches make me lose compression?
