Default What is my compression ratio (static)?

I have a 402 from Texas-Speed with -10cc pistons and 64cc chambers.

How much "down in the hole" is the piston at TDC, and how much volume would that displace? Lets call this Vdh.

Also, I need the volume of the head gasket. Lets call this Vhg. I do not recall the thickness.

So far I have:

CR = [825 + 10 + 64] / [10 + 64] = 12.15 which is way to high.

However, I need the following:

CR = [825 + 10 + 64 + Vdh + Vhg] / [10 + 64 + Vdh + Vhg] to accurately calculate the static compression ratio.
