Seems like Robert Lilly thinks rougher is better when having the heads,
piston tops ceramic coated for even combustion temperature and smooth
flow.
I think you can control cc by stacking base shims or milling cylinder
height or cutting cylinder height / heads in the gasket area.

If you find a miracle, please advise us.
