That is correct.
If you look in the Kastner TR6 Competition Prep Book (aka the Bible), it
tells you this very number - later heads must take off and additional .080
to get the the numbers. He uses 10:1 and 10.3:1 (stock block and decked)
and 12:1 / 12.3:1 (stock block and decked) as his target compression
figures.
But in every case, to know the exact combustion chamber volume, you need
to do what Vance did - set up the burrette and measure.
Interestingly, TR6 cylinder heads have very good tolerances, so the "mill
this amount" method does work, even if it's not "exact".
And the chart on Goodparts is a great guide.
