CC'ing the Heads

I should probably get down on my knees saying hosannas (sp) and keep my mouth shut in humility. :-)

I rechecked the volume of my heads in preparation to go buy spacers tomorrow.

The last time I did this, I had readings that went from 46cc to 49cc.

This time I needed it real accurate so I was doing everything the same, right down to the pressure I used to hold the plastic disc flat.

Just a gentle pressure on the two flat sides while carefully injecting with no pressure in the middle.

I also used a lighter grease and just enough to seal the valves.

A real light film around the edge, just to stop the fluid.

So I went thru the first two and they read same as last time at 49cc.

I do the bad head and suddenly I have 49 again, not 46!

I checked it two more times to be sure then went on to the last one and damned if it didn't come in the same! And rechecked it too.

So I have 4 chambers within a quarter cc of each other.

I like it! :-)

What I had done the last time was got a little sloppy.

I also used four valves and set up a whole head instead of the same two valves for all chambers.

I also guess I used too much grease the first time.

Maybe some pressure on the center of that real low one.

Three times apiece and everything identical.

Yeah, I know Bob said that. :-)

There's a moral in there somewhere.
