The Chicago Boat Show is January 17-21. BKH, are you still going to be there? Anyone else? The wife and I will be going to that one day. Maybe we can work something out then? I'd love to get together with you guys again.

I think the wife and I are planning on being "sick" the 19th. It's way too crowded on the weekends. And you're right, nothing like looking at a bunch of stuff you can't afford. Rob |

Like HW said, they always end up with beer or babes. I guess that's not such a bad thing. |

Speaking of Hooters, that blonde's face looks familiar, but the body doesn't. Maybe it's the way she's bending. Am I right Ken?
Moj', I don't spit much/any game at Hooters. Those girls get hit on all day I don't want to be cla$$ified as just another scumbag even if I am. Strip clubs though, different rules. I'll let quinner do the talking, and swoop in at the end for the kill! |

You are correct (Crystal Lake Hooters) - "Flotation devices"(although you can't really tell in the photo) are a new addition and are fantastic. |

Allen for sh*ts and giggles you should cc the chambers on those new heads before you mount them that way you know exactly what it is, no guessing involved that way.

Chris, I'd be glad to do it but the only CC I know anything about is Canadian Club. If you can give me an easy how to I'll give it a try so we can get a real answer to the mystery. |

Get a measuring device in CCs (beaker or flask) fill it to known amount above what believed volume of heads are. Fill chambers, subtract remaining fluid, Viola!
or something like that, Chris will tell you a better or more precise way. |

So it's done with the heads off the engine upside down on a bench. Too simple, that's why I had no idea. Quinner, how many CC's in a shot gla$$?. |

level the heads with the chambers facing up. four bolts with nuts and washers on them work well. Just screw down the nut all the way down on the threads then place a washer on top of it then set the heads on top. Now you have jack screws on all four conners to level the head. Get a syringe at the drug store or off your local junky your choice, it will have calibrations on the side in cc's fill it with water, get the air out of it and line it up on one of the marks so that you know what the volume of water is in the syringe, then squirt it in to on chamber slowly, you need to have the plug in and tightened or it will leak. keep adding water too the chamber in smaller incruments as it starts to get to the top of the chamber, when it breaks over the edge of the chamber then you should be able to read on the syringe how much is left subtract that from what you started with and you have the volume in the chamber.
using a small syringe with finer calibrations vs a larger one, so say a 10-20cc syringe filled severals times is going to be more acurate then a 100cc syringe. or a compination off both, using the small one at the end to get a better resultant. |

Will the surface tension of the water allow it to "bubble" over the height of the deck?
