Go to <A HREF="http://www.slantsix.com">www.slantsix.com</A> and read it in the tech talk section. I've already typed it twice and don't want to do it 3 times. In short, $15 gets you all you need if you know where to look!

Awhh...come-on...you mean your computer does not have that "copy / paste" key...mine does, so heres Tim_K's info:

I just found a cheap and easy way to cc my /6 combustion chambers. Thought I'd share it with everyone. I found a scientific supply store in the yellow pages, and ordered a 100 ml (same as cc) plastic graduated cylinder, and a squeeze bulb with a tube on it (called a pipette aid). Total cost of $15.20 . 6 days from putting the money order in the mail to FedEx handing me the box, and that's over the Labor Day weekend! The cylinder has a little spout at the top, so you can pour water with it if you want to. The squeeze bulb takes 15 drops of water to move the water level 1 cc (ml) in the cylinder, so accuracy should be very good with it. You'll need to add a short piece of flexible clear tubing to the suqeeze bulb to reach the bottom of the cylinder, which is about 1 inch in diameter and about 10 inches tall. You'll also need your own piece of plexiglass to seal the chamber you're measuring.
Price breakdown: Cylinder, $5.25, squeeze bulb, $ 3.95, and $6.00 for S&H. They said that is the minimum price for S&H, and should be sufficient to go anywhere in the USA for that amount.
Here's what to do: Call (724) 872-9383, or (412) 751-4415. Ask for Part # 4861-D 100 ml plastic graduated cylinder, and # 5829 pipette aid (squeeze bulb thing).

Here's their address:

S & S Scientific Supply Co. Inc.
320 Highland Drive
Elizabeth, PA, 15037

After one machine shop told me $40 to cc the first chamber and $25 for each one after that, I said NO WAY. A second shop had a better but still too expensive price. With this stuff, you can cc heads until you can't stand it anymore for one low price!

This computer has the copy and paste keys, but I never tried to learn how to use them.
