All the volumes mentioned have to be converted to cc's. Comp. ratio = Combustion chamber volume, - piston dome volume, or + piston dish volume ( you did not specify what you had ), + head gasket volume, + deck height volume, you stated zero deck height, so that figure is zero. + swept volume ( cylinder displacement in cc's ). Divide this figure by, combustion chamber volume, - or + piston dome, or dish volume, + head gasket volume, + deck height volume. This will give you your static comp. ratio. When you come up with the figure, post it and I will give you the "theoretical" cam choice.
