What is the formula to figure out what compression ratio a combo will have considering the piston and chamber. I am thinking of getting a set of flattop DSS Forged Pistons and I will be re-using the Thumper Heads with stock 61CC chambers.

or the piston volume it takes up during stroke divided by the clearance left in deck height and chamber volume.
