Abstract

A method and apparatus measures cylinder head combustion chambers and provides inputs to machines which can perform operations to assure that all combustion chambers are at a correct volume. Also disclosed are devices for matching volumes of engine assemblies as well as precise machining of gears, turbine blades and other parts. Measurements are ideally made via electro-optical sensors, particularly triangulating types.
