veeefour Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 You can't tell the difference of 5mm in level - capacity method worked fine for me and I find it quite accurate - saves time, money and effort. Air gap is only for reference as there are many different factors that may compromise your measurement - temperature, air, measurement error etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just .5oz was around 20mm over the specified 160mm air gap. Seems like if I had poured in the whole 16.8 I would have been over by 50mm or more. That's why I'm so curious about this because it seemed like the volume measurement was WAY off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeefour Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Assuming the OD of upper part of the fork is 50mm it would be around 10ml per 5mm. I'm not really sure why our findings differs. Guess we do things a bit differently ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
