I know the CRV/LS head has a combustion chamber volume of 45cc stock,
but if I de-shroud (open up the chamber bore to match the cylinder bore) it will change the cc's.

How do I go about measuring the new cc's?

 

YES..Set head on the bench perfectly level. (Valves must be installed.) Cover combustion chamber completely with
piece of clear plastic/lexan with small hole in it. Fill combustion chamber with fluid measured from graduated cylinder. See how much fluid the chamber will hold by reading how much came out of graduated cylinder. All chambers should be made equal volume if you are really blueprinting the engine.

Cool

 

Thanks, sounds "easy" enough.

How about finding the displacment of a piston dome..any idea on how to go about find this out?

 

my guess would be to take the graduated cylinder and put the top of the piston in it? Then see what it displaces?

 

How far down though? To where the quench pads touch (are flush) with the liquid?

 

that is what I would think.....are you going with a dome or a dish?
