Assuming your numbers are accurate:

54 cc. x 11 = 594 original volume
594 / 64 =  9.28:1

Compression Ratio = Final Volume / Swept Volume

I've assumed that the deck height and gasket thickness were contained in your
"chamber" volume, but they usually are not, and need to be known for an exactly
correct answer, but this one is close enough for 'Government Work"
