ya what you do is get a piece of plexiglass big enough to cover the combustion chamber and put a small hole in the middle and after dabbing a small amount of vasoline under each of the valves and putting a junk spark plug in that you would use, use a pipet or other accurate measuring device to fill the chamber w/ alcohol with a small amount of food coloring thru the hole. If everything is sealed and the chamber is full to the bottom of the hole, you have found your combustion chamber volume. Don't forget to take into account cylinder head gasket thickness if you are trying to figure out your compression ratio. This is all assuming your engine is taken apart right now...
