16V head-combustion chamber volume?

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

Thanks for the information.  The Heron head (as Marc indicated) is 
actually a 1.6 head, and produced 10.5:1 (or therabouts) on a 1.6 block 
with different pistons.  This engine was good for (help me out here?)  
110bhp.
