Tom;
        Maybe I am misunderstanding you. What are you cc-ing in the head?
It has been a while since I had one apart. I thought the top of the
combustion chamber was basically flat. You're not cc-ing volume that is
occupied by the cylinder wall are you? Otherwise I think you should
rotate your engine vertically and cc a cylinder with piston at top dead
center.
        I believe they call this type of piston hetrodinal(sp?).
