What CR w/58cc heads?

If I go from 64cc to 58cc heads what would that make the compression ratio? Assume starting CR of 9 or 9.3:1.

stock I think is 9 so you would get 9.5 compression I think. I saw a hotRod that did that and that was the result.

You cannot make that assumption, unless we know more.

1) What size engine in cubic inches?
2) Any overbore?
3) What are the reliefs in the piston rated at?
4) How far down in the hole are the pistons at TDC?
5) What size thickness is the head gasket that you will use?

Once we know these figures, we can calculate the change in compression ratio.
