compression formulas
Compression ratio is (swept volume + clearance volume)/(clearance volume). Swept volume is the volume of one cylinder, clearance volume is head cc + deck volume +gasket volume + valve relief volume. It is easier to use ccs(cubic centimeters), so make sure to convert swept volume.
