Default Heart shaped combustion chamber?

Looking through the head section on the autozone computers (current employer), the question "Heart shaped combustion chambers, or small combustion chambers?" comes up. How do I tell the differance without pulling the heads off?

There is no such thing as a heart shaped combustion chamber, I think that you're computer is messed up. What parts exactly were you looking up?

I thought some mfgr's boasted about the benefits of heart shaped CBs. Twisted flow comes to mind IIRC.
