- Has anyone actually tried to measure the combustion chamber capacity ? In David Vizard's book he sets out a way of mewasuring cylinder head capacity by fillling with light oil from a burette (pipette

- I'll be facing this problem soon as well, so keep us informed :) Could you get around the surface tension problem by using water with a little dishwashing detergent? Ulix P.S. I like your sand idea (

- you'll also need a second hole for the air to escape that you displace. Plus you have to somehow avoid air bubbles under the plexiglas (maybe you could just shake it around). Ulix Ulix __/__,__ ....

- Why not just measure the volume of sand? The reason I say that is that the sand will not displace an equal volume of water. If the sand is fine enough then it will act like a fluid... Just my .02 Ji

- I was watching "Hot Rod TV" (or another TNN car show) last weekend and watched them do just what Guy is asking. They placed the head at about a 45 degree angle, chambers up, so that the chambers were

- More-or-less standard procedure is to cover the combustion chamber with a well-sealed sheet of plexiglass. There should be a small hole in the plexiglass for filling through at one edge of the chambe

- The easiest method is to fill it with plastercine, then remove the plastercine and drop it in a measuring glass partially filled with water. The difference in measurement is the volume of the combust

- To use the burette, I think a plastic plate with o-rings around the combustion chamber is bolted on (on American racing motors, anyways). The fluid is added through a hole in the plate and the clear
