Overhead is no problem. Just don't overdo it with the amps. The big thing is wearing protective clothing (PPE) so you don't get burned. You could rig up some test pieces to practice first.

Dimples in the port do not affect compression ratio. The initial picture shows dimples in the piston top. That absolutely affects compression ratio.
