That was a little bold of me. I should have said - Perhaps. On the one hand it might but on the other hand it might not.
Clearly a taller crown has higher compression but I don't think that was really the question. In simple terms the larger the bore, the easier it is to raise compression and the lower the dome the better it is. A better solution is a larger than stock bore with relatively low crown and small included angle between the valves to give a flatter combustion chamber. I much prefer to flatten the chamber as mush as possible to avoid the squashed pancake chamber which needs lots of ignition advance and has poor combustion characteristics.

Looks like you could knock a lot of that scale off pretty easily with a hand-full or box-full of some wood-finishing nails, the kind with small flat round heads. Slosh it around with a good amount of white vinegar, because it will neutralize the rust to prevent the flash rust that normally follows using Metal Rescue and Evapo-rust. Shake shake shake shake the thing like mad!
I seen a guy strap a tank to an old wagon wheel and just spin the heck out of it.
