Combustion Chamber Volume - Simple CC’S

Aside from a large camshaft, cubic inches, and lots of fuel, compression is the element that allows power to be formedAside from a large camshaft, cubic inches, and lots of fuel, compression is the element that allows power to be formed. It’s the massive amount of squeeze being placed on the fuel and air, which in turn drives the piston down. However, in engine building, before determining the amount of pinch on the piston, the volume of its combustion chamber (measured in cubic centimeters) must be completed first. For the most part, measuring the volume of the combustion chamber on a cylinder head is a cinch and involves filling the chamber with a fluid (alcohol with food coloring) and taking note of the amount used. In addition, its methods can be carried over and used to determine the volumes of the intake or exhaust ports, too.
