* Cylinder head Volume (CC) = 34.00
* Piston Top Volume (CC) = 0.30
* Cylinder Bore (Inches) = 3.4
* Cylinder Stroke (Inches) = 3.46
* Deck Height (Inches) = 0.030
* Head Gasket Thickness (Inches) = 0.068

that gave me 11.7 compression. You will need to figure out what kind of headgasket your getting, right now its set at stock. stroke is set for 88mm, cylinder head volume is stock, piston bore is 87mm, not stock.
