Default cc'ing chambers

You can get a kit from Summit or Jegs to cc your chambers. it's not very difficult I think. What you do is lay a flat plexiglass plate over the deck of the head with valves and a sprk plug installed. The plate is sealed to the deck with a small amount of vaseline so it won't leak. There is a small hole in the plate or maybe two holes so air can escape from one while being filled from the other. You drip a liquid (colored aocohol I think) into the hole from a pipette (a tube calibrated in cc's that holds the liquid). The amount of liquid needed from the pipette to fill the chamber tells you the volumn of that combustion chamber. It's what they call "cc'ing the heads".

If you don't want to buy the kit, most shops that port heads would probably do it for you for a small fee. Your school shop might actually have that kit and it could be a learning experience for the whole class. Just a thought
