TiZiK Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Hey all; Been searching around for this and cant seem to come up with anything concrete. Looking to know what others have measured for the CC of the GSXR 1100 G cylinder head? I know the DOT heads are 22cc. I've seen mention that non-DOT heads are 4cc more. When I measured mine, Im getting ~30cc. Does that sound about right for this head? Trying to calculate my CR, so I'm assuming accuracy is paramount. Quote
george 1100 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) 26ccHow are you measuring? Edited October 21, 2015 by george 1100 Quote
Duckndive Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 My unmodified 1100K head is 28cc............... Quote
TiZiK Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Plexiglass with hole, head slightly tilted, graduated cylinder and a graduated syringe. Did it twice and came up the same. Using a CR calculator, 4 cc raises or lowers CR by almost half a point. Have even tried a different cylinder and got a similar result. Quote
george 1100 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I measured the 1052 head on my last build and it was bang on 26. Are you using fuel or water? Leaking through valves maybe? I put a smear of grease around the valves before measuring Quote
TiZiK Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Cheers George! (My name as well). Will give another go tonight. I was using methyl hydrate (alcohol) dyed orange. I don't think it was leaking past valves cause once filled, the level wouldn't drop Quote
mcguire1205 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Windshield washer fluid is good to use. Easy to see, easy to clean up. Quote
canamant Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 You also need to measure the piston too. Valve pockets increase CCV and domes decrease it. To get true CR you need to do a dirty build with grease on the rings and fill the combustion to the bottom of the spark plug hole at TDC. 1 Quote
TiZiK Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 I got a new syringe from medical supply place. Figure they'd be the most accurate. Tried again and got 28cc. 3 times. Valve pockets added another 2cc. Maybe I'll try your technique tonight canamant. Thanks For that. I'm curious now what the different readings will be. Quote
Gixer1460 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 All depends on what you are trying to find - combustion chamber volume to work out compression or pure in-head chamber volume to work out gas flowing effects on CR.The former is generally acknowledged as 26cc so I bet you'll find the piston domes will measure out at about 2cc which of course gets deducted from the head volume Quote
