Its around 23cc combustion chamber volume for the T2 head, but they vary by a bit as the combustion chamber is a cast feature......skimming the head will only get you so far, the easiest way to increase the compression is to fit the taller T1 piston, but again that only gets you so far, I believe the standard compression is 9.5:1, to be doing anything serious you need to be in the region of 12:1 or more......so you may want to just get a proper forged domed piston, but they dont seem to be available, even the american tuning stuff from Wiesco are flat-top.
