Sure its possible. But why would you wanna do this? If its to gain a few BHP then I don't think its worth it in the long run. A lot of things would have to be taken into consideration, like how much of an increase are you gonna get. Even a bit off the top will be a significant difference and if you do so will a standard gasket be able to handle it?


Will your valves have enough clearance and not collide with the pistons. This especially comes into effect if you have an aftermarket camshaft.


As for measuring compression, you can use a compression gauge to check the health of your engine but to get a car's actual compression ratio then a lot of things will have to be measured. All depends on what your final goal is.
