basically you work out the volume of the combustion chambers, make sure they are all the same etc, then you use this inf to help work out your compression ratio so you can get the desied results, 11.5:1 on this maybe

nope, tbh these not much need, the same amount of material has been taken out on each cylinder to such a mininal difference its not worth checking
