The only thing we are forgetting is the novis that bolts an engine together does take everything for granted.
My opinion is if he/she wants to play with engines, besides regular tools, get some head working tools.
AND a CC beaker , a quality one.

And if investing in a 100ml graduated burrette, a glass unit would be needed, as alcohol WILL attack, the acrylic versions.

I dont know what a top of the line version is-
The 130 dollar variety Summit and others sell them -works for me
It is a complete tooll with most everything.
They even sell the glass replacements

What kind off accuracy can you get with a beaker? 5 ml?

I bought a 100ml burette from eBay for like $20. Yea it's cheap but for all the CC checks I do on heads it's paid for itself after the first engine.

The one I use has a valve and is graduated.as in the pic.
I am sure it is within a whisker thickness of a flea fart as I get results with minor changes and is repeatable.
The biggest problem is just accurately filling the chamber...any dribble or screw up, means start all over .. again.

Ok so it's a burette and not a beaker.

I think that is exactly what I use.
Is that a piston for a turbo engine there?
