Abstract

In order to adjust the volume of the combustion chamber with high accuracy, a cylinder head 200 includes a recess 204 constituting part of the combustion chamber of the engine and a mating surface for a cylinder block. The recess 204 includes a plurality of openings to which a plurality of specific members are attached respectively. The mating surface 202 is formed to have a cutting stock with respect to three-dimensional shape data of the cylinder head 200 designed to have a target combustion chamber volume. The adjusting method further comprises measuring the surface shape of the recess and the shape of the mating surface around the recess by successively changing the irradiation position of a laser beam using a line laser displacement meter. The adjusting method further comprises removing data of regions equivalent to the plurality of openings from measurement data by comparing the measurement data obtained by the line laser displacement meter with the three-dimensional shape data. The adjusting method still further comprises: calculating the volume of the recess 204 based on the measurement data from which the regions equivalent to the plurality of openings are removed; and deciding the cutting amount of the mating surface 202 by comparing the calculated volume of the recess 204 with a volume of the recess 204 based on the three-dimensional shape data.
