May I ask what your wanting to accomplish? You could use the nominal deck height ie 10.725" for a RB and use that to decide if the pistons you have in mind will work then as said mockup & see how much you need to machine to get p/v clearance/quench/cr where you want it

Only if you know the deck has not been cut.

I don't think anyone mentioned a micrometer.
That would work... If you have a 10-11" ball end micrometer...

you can set a round rod in the bore and mike off of that then subtract the rods diameter then add 1/2 of the bore dia. As said comes down to the accuracy of your caliper type. When MP machines the decks it leaves straight machining marks whereas machine shop milling machines make circular marks. this might help you determine if yours have been cut

I've gotten decent results with a 12" dial caliper.... Measure the height from the deck to the crank bore, add half the bearing bore diameter & you have a good number..
I originally bought my 12" dial caliper for measuring brake drums but I've found other uses for it. It's nice to be able to check whether a deck is stock or hacked to death without hauling it to a shop and bothering someone who has better things to do.
