In theory yes.
The chamber volume would need to have the pop-up volume of the piston subtracted and the deck height clearance volume would need to be added. But since I didn't have that information to hand I didn't factor it in the equation, so we are assuming a zero deck and flat pistons in this case.

In either case the difference made by reducing the thickness of the gasket would be the same.

Yep! I know about deck height and piston volume etc, just wanted a rough estimate. (Or maybe I was getting the Student Brain kick started again

)

I reckon if you ditch the head gasket, there is little chance you can blow it

O rings and a thin (0.008)copper gasket

(it works for the blower boys)

Just weld the head on!

Indeed they are, Steve. i only chipped in because James provided a specific compresion ratio, wasn't querying the maths Anyway, I have a fire to rush to
