I bought a burette I don't use anymore. I have found that aluminum foil balls held in place by a bit of grease and bolt the heads on to be a much better indication of what's really going on. The last set of Edmunds 8BA heads turned out needing to be "angle-milled" from .040 on one end to .000 the other to bring the combustion chambers into spec. A couple of test fittings made the problem become obvious (the block had been decked incorrectly). This engine has been running strong for the last two years and several thousand miles..
