Default Compression Ratio, How?

Except for calculating things (which I'm not terribly good at), how can I find out what C/R my engine is running? I've got a couple of different setups to swap around, and I could do with testing each one.....

May be being thick here, but there's got to be some means of measuring the chamber volume without major hassle?

Anyone??? lol

not accurately without taking apart the engine and measuring bore stroke etc and working it out

somoene with experience maybe able to give a guestimate by the figures you get with a compression test

If it is a standard engine you will be able to research things like bore, stroke, rod length, compression height, combustion volume and deck height. If not you'll know at least some so can get a rough idea of CR.
