==Another way to calculate the amount to remove== In cases where the head in question isn't listed or the list cannot be accessed, the amount of material to remove from the cylinder head deck to reach a specific volume can be estimated by using a graduated burette or even a large syringe. Assuming the target chamber volume is known, a burette or syringe can be used to dispense that amount of fluid into the chamber. Then measure down to the surface of the fluid and that will be the amount of material that needs to be removed from the deck. Using a fluid other than water will make this easier, since water has a relatively high surface tension. Mineral spirits or rubbing alcohol with a drop or two of food coloring works well for this.
