Sure....

You need some other numbers first....

1. Piston cc dish or dome
2. Head gasket thickness and bore
3. Piston stroke
4. Deck height (distance piston is installed into bore at TDC)
5. Head cc

That's about all you need...now there are some websites that will calculate it based on the above info....

However, you can do it yourself...

CR is basically the the volume of all the above things when the piston is at BDC divided by the volume of all the above things when the piston is at TDC.

If you want, provide me with the above info...I'll be glad to do it for you.
