They have been beating P&G for a lifetime. I don't think this works for a stroker

they haven't been beating the P&G, they ahave been beating the dipshit holding the P&G.

I have always heard this was true.....But I have never had enough money to throw away to find out

I can cheat one 6 ways from Sunday. Which means you need to come up with a 7th if I am checking your deal. Rule #1, from the second you tell them which cylinderS that you want to test, never take your eyes off the guy getting it ready.

or, the dipshit holding the p&g tells you a 499" engine is 549, so pull the head off... and then you pull the head, and the dipshit doesn't know how to measure and calculate ci... so the dipshit calls 2 more "tech" dipshits over, and between the 3 stooges, none of 'em know how to measure and calculate ci... so while you're waiting to toss this pile of parts back together so you can get on the road, you conduct a short math class. (can you measure the bore??? pulls out tape measure. can you measure the stroke. same tape measure)...

the moral is, if your gonna set a record, make sure you got tools to tear your engine down, and go find the 3 stooges early, so you can get the thing back together and on the road before dark. and make sure you smile while they're sticking that p&g meter up your azz...

use something like a pencil. Take out the plug. Rotate to BDC, locate an index point (top of threads) make a mark. Rotate to TDC make another mark and measure. Stroke x bore x 8=CID

sounds like a lot of "dipshits" were involved.

You should have told one of the dipshits, I guessing the one that measured it, that you want to use 2002CP's calculation method on it.

well that could work in a pinch a plus/minus an inch on the stroke

you never know someone should try it.

Nope.
Weight the engine, put the piston at BTC, fill the cylinder with water. Weight the engine again.
Subtract 118 cc of water for the combustion chamber, = 118 grams

540CID = 1106.1268247 grams of water/8=138.2658530875 grams per cylinder.
Dead nuts accurate! Plus or minus a head gasket and deck height

The plug hole/threads will not be square with the top of the piston. It would never be a true 90. It was just a thought...

it wasn't a terribly fun weekend, although learning did take place. the thing is, people apply for these positions. they aren't drug off the street to do it. this guy very arrogantly and condescendingly "ordered" me to pull the head - it was not pleasant. the owner just kind of shrugged his shoulders. because if you are running a class with engine restrictions, set a record and then refuse, you are in even deeper shit. and i know you're just giving the guy crap, but seeing bore x stroke x 8.... just amazing.
