If you would like to check to make sure you have equal combustion chambers the best way or should I say a simple way of doing it is this:
Things you'll need:
1.Short bolts with washers (proper size to thread into block deck)
2.Piece of plexi-glass to cover the deck
3.tooth paste or equivilant for sealing
4.syringe that measures in cc's of course
5.Some type of injectable medium(I use rubbing alcohol)
Use the tooth paste and make a small bead around the cylinder bores. After you have the plexi-glass bolted on the block take a spare needle from the syringe heat it untill it will melt a hole through the plexi-glass over each combustion chamber. Then bing each cylinder up to TDC you can do 1 and 4 and then 2 and 3. Record the ammount of cc's injected into ecah bore and then do the same on your cylinder head. Valves closed, and spark plugs in. I just used my ARP's and some additional nuts and washers to attach the plexi-glass to the head. Then using sand paper carefully sand away at the bowl area to achieve the equal 64cc measurement for each combustion chamber.
Sound a little tedious I know, but I was never very good with math and this is a solid, verifyable way to know exactly where you stand. I hope that helps. I also have some pics that I could post of a guy from my local car club doing this to his DSM if anyone wants a better idea on how to do this.
Merry Christmas
