Pity, if you were planning a CR increase (without changing pistons) you could have started with a 1.8 head. That will give a 11.0:1 on a 2.0 without any other machining.

If you've found 55cc quoted as a head volume, its most likely an American source as that's the combustion chamber volume on their (lower compression) engines IIRC.
