I just use what I can find that will hold the cylinders in place and a pair of Digital Calipers. Then anything that measures cc's of water a cc beaker or cup will work.

Also a TableSpoon of water is about 14.8cc and a 25 cent piece is .81 cc's.

Thanks Danwvw. Low tech solutions are fine with me. Saving some $$$$ is cool too.

When I need to cc heads I just took a 1/4” piece of lexan and scribed a circle with a compass and cut along the line. Then I drilled a hole to add liquid and it was done. But I have a small bandsaw. I also have an old adjustable size hole saw that would work to make the disks.

Hi Ebel, looks like Mathew from Aircooled Research cc’d the chambers when he rebuilt my heads but I will keep this info for my next rebuild. Thanks!
