Yes - the liquid burrette method is most effective for the combustion chamber (seal the valves with grease or else they'll leak...and don't forget a spark plug! Grease the threads on that, too.) If you can, include the compressed head gasket in there, too.
But, for the cylinder, you can use some good old fashioned math.
Volume of a cylinder: L × pi × r2, where L is the length of the cylinder (stroke), pi is 3.14, and r is the radius (half the bore), squared...
(and you thought you'd never use any of that math garbage...)
Have fun. Use fluid from the parts cleaner to measure with...you know it won't hurt anything.
