Slant Six Forum :: Where can I buy a cc measuring tool?

: I want to buy one of those liquid holding tools
: used to cc combustion chambers. I think it's
: called a 'burette'. I was talking with a
: machine shop about doing the final 45 degree
: seats when I get done porting my /6 head,
: and they said they would charge FORTY
: DOLLARS to measure EACH CHAMBER!!! Well
: needless to say, I said something equivalent
: to "no". $69 to grind the seats is
: more than enough. Besides, if I had my own
: tool, I could cc all the chambers, plus use
: it on other engine projects whenever I
: wanted. How much do these things usually
: cost? Thanks.

: I have to do that to my head too, so I can
: calculate my final compression ratio. I got
: a piece of lexan and drilled a small hole it
: in and put some grease around the chamber to
: stick it water tight.poked a spark plug in
: there, and grabbed a "horse"
: syringe from my local Feed/Hay store. Total
: out of pocket cost $10, and I had to tell
: the clerk I was using it for my own habit...
: *grin*

: I called Summit, and they said Comp Cams has
: them for $39.95 . I'll try there.

There is a tools article in the August 2001 Hot Rod magazine. Someone is selling a "kit" with the burette and some other things for $139 (???) Seems quite spendy to me. The $10 syringe in the other post may be an acceptable inexpensive alternative. cfield@ll.net

I just went and picked up a new 60cc Horse Cathater Syringe and a piece of plexiglass and a tube of blue food coloring for a grand total of $3.78 out of pocket. I needed to replace my old syringe and with that equipment it was easy to find my chambers are 52.5 cc's each with very little variation (less than 1/10th) due to casting flash I ground out of my chambers.
