Ever buy a pair of used heads and want to know what the runner or chamber volume really is? Here is my low tech way to measure volumes - probably good to +/- 1cc. I use a graduated cylinder, syringe, level, and rubbing alcohol. A quick check on my used AFR 225 heads that I bougth off this forum shows 67cc chambers and 228cc intake runners. Gives a little more confidence when working out the static compression ratio.

I've just always used alcohol instead of water to prevent rusting if the head was going to sit for a while
