trying to figure out compression ratio
I'm trying to determine how much to mill 862 5.3L heads on a stock LM7 5.3 and every compression calculator i use gives me different off the wall ratios I would like to be around 10.1 compression to 10.5 here are the specs i been typing in
Bore 3.779 / stroke 3.622 / .054 head gasket / Deck Height .008 / -8cc piston dome

The bore size is supposed to be 3.780
Use .051 for stock head gasket thickness. You usually have to type in 8cc not -8cc as the minus is used for domes. These are not domes they have a dish in them.
If you can get a .040 head gasket and get the heads to 57cc you will be right there.
I think it's about .006 for each cc so you would be around .024 mill to get to 57cc
