Reply to "Valve in new engine not seating"

I used Summit's calculator and it came in at 9.64.  I don't know if I am doing this correctly.  If 9.64 is correct then 93 octane will work fine.

Compression Ratio :9.64 : 1
Total Displacement (in.3) :357.16
Total Displacement cc's :5855.08

Inputs to Summit's calculator:  Bore 4.030, Stroke 3.5, Volume 62.8 cc,  Piston Dome/Dish 0.0, Deck Clearance .072, Compressed Gasket .033, Cylinders 8

It could be the deck clearance (.072) that is reducing this engine's compression ratio.
