How to measure milled heads
How to measure milled heads I want to know what and how to measure if my heads were milled. I was told they were milled .030 and I want to make sure. What are the stock measurements on a set of LS6 heads and can I use a digital caliper to measure?
I don't know if you can measure the head thickness to find that out. You could use a buerette and measure the combustion chamber volume. I believe it's ~.006" mill for every cc less than stock. I know the stock 853 heads were ~66.67cc's and I think the stock 243's are ~64cc's. I'm wondering if you could measure valve height from a flat edge across the bottom of the head, but I don't know what the dimension is.
What I'm going to do is put the valves in place and fill the combustion chamber w/ water. 1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter
I'm curious what my little "touch up's" did to the to volume.
That's the correct way to measure...right? Is there a better more accurate way?
