Tech Tip: Cylinder head chamber cc is estimated by the manufacturer and is not exact. When replacing heads, cylinders, camshafts, or other critical engine components a thorough pre-assembly blueprint should to be done to calculate head CC, chamber volume, deck height, compression ratio, valve clearance, and cam timing. If you are not sure - take it to a professional!
