nf head on a kx block compression change

[Bruce Bell]

The NF and the KX both have combustion chambers of 30 cc. Early
10 v heads, particularly the solid lifter models have a smaller
combustion chamber ~25 cc. And, as noted  below, 20v heads do
have even bigger combustion chambers. Short answer, your
compression ratio will stay the same at 8.5:1
