leave the plug in it, tip it up side down, get a sheet of perspex with a small hole in it. put vaseline on the flat surface of the head. This will seal the perspex to the head. Small hole to be the highest point. Now you have a sealed chamber which you can fill with liquid to measure the volume. Use a syringe say 25cc gives reasonable distinction between the marks to read the amount.

After you cc it clean it up and do it again that will show how much carbon build up there is.

You ca do a similar thing with the piston by submerging it and measuring displacement but very difficult with flat top pistons, I am assuming you have flat tops not domed.

max, they are flat...
i asked more so out of wanting to know ... its on its way to procycle in the morning
thanks mate and to hilly to for the pm

Puppy! I hope you are taking plenty of pics man!! Post some up.

anything special mongrel?
well i gave my head to procycle yesterday,and i,m waiting to hear the outcome on that,so now ive got the back to do ,then fred can come and pick it all up
so i,m off my bike for a couple of weeks by the looks of it....might get some work done around the house i suppose

Lucky it's winter I guess. Although, riding weather all year round where you are!!

max,,, mate its been fuking beautifull all god damn day here mate
can someone tell me what cc a head is normal pls

thanks Hilly
at least ill know what to compare it to when they measure them

this is just an outthere thought but didn,t the MoCo change from the 96ci to the 103 ci in 2011 and if they did happen to screw up by mixing parts up would that give me the 220 cranking compression?

And I doubt they screwed up the parts. More likely the previous owner had some head work done. Especially the large difference between stock and what you are getting for CCP. I gather you still can't get in touch with the previous owner? If the bike is in the shop then they should be able to sort it out for you..

Hilly, im still waiting for the bike to be picked up....freds got a bit on atm.
but at least i,m keeping her mileage down

when you get the bike to fred make sure he has your cam timing information.
He will volume the engine first I think to see if anything is odd.
The more I think about this the more it seems to be cam timing. either a tooth or two out or the cams are not indexed correctly to the gears. If he has all the info he will be able to set up a degree wheel and check it. Pretty sure he installs them that way rather than dot to dot any how.

well fred came down yesterday to pick up the scoot.he was saying they have another bike there with the opposite problem.
anyway i met freds young bloke [ about 4 yrs old ] and he assured me that he can fix it, hes already onto it,gave me the thumbs up LOL
so im hoping jamie starts on her early this week,the weather is bloody perfect

He`s a busy little beaver old Fred down there at ProCycle isn`t he ... I`ve been waiting a few weeks { New Paint set coming } to book my Softail in for some Cams and other assorted little jobs hoping he will quieten down a little , no such luck , Lol .

Let us know the out come sic-puppy ... will be interesting to hear what the solution is ... I`ve found Fred and Jamie down there to be on the up and up and extremely easy to talk to so hopefully that will work for you as well .

Tim .

couldn't get down there this week, so where are things at now??

max, i believe they are putting her back together now.i rang as soon as i got back from my dads funeral.
damn hard to hear when fred is on the dyno .so ill drop in today and have a chat
And thanks for the text mate , a bit of good news for a rather bad week

mate sorry for you loss, never an easy time loosing a family member.
The bike will be ready when it's ready mate don't worry about it.
Take it easy for a while
