so you are talking about the extra space between the piston and in the dome of the head being added to the cylinder displacement?
ok hough what about this,take the head off remove spark plug,drop the piston just a little from tdc fill the void in the head with clay and enough to fill down through the gasket to the slightly lowered piston then reinstall the gasket and torque the head down,turn the engine back to tdc excess clay will come out the plug hole then remove head and collect the clay minus what was in the plug hole and measure the volume of the clay then add that to the displacement reading
You could do the same thing with water, or a heavy oil. Less chance of an air pocket, and you could do it without pulling the head off
