Hi how do I find out what the appropriate squish clearance spec is very every different bike?

Hei Jeff.. Thanks for your geat videos! Very helpfull.What "squish size" would you recommand for a EXC300 2011, running at sea level, and European 95okt fuel?Hope you have the time to reply :)

Very simple method.

What size solder did you use? Or doesnt it matter

Anybody know where to get this solder he speaks of for cheap and not 100 feet of it?

Thanks for this instruction but what is the minimum squish and how changing squish will effect for engine performance? What do you prefer for KTM 300 2017 used only in technical stuff?

Depends on the fuel you will be using, 0.60mm-0.70mm on high octane larger for pump fuel 0.80mm-0.95mm.

The squish space does exactly that -squishes air and fuel mix centrally for the best shot at complete and powerful combustion

I believe my numbers are safe and only what I use and have tested/ every builder has their own numbers

Jeff. thanks for another helpful video. question: a lot of folks say to turn the flywheel back and forth past top dead a few times. however you only ran it past top dead once. is once all you do?

So do you have a base gasket on right now while checking squish? Or is the cylinder metal to metal on the case?

Yes, install the gasket first.

Part 2 would sure come in handy right about now. Just rebuilt my top end and couldn't get a good measurement on the old base gasket as there wasn't much left of it. So, I just guessed with new one. Feels like I've lost some bottom end performance. 2012 250 XC-W.

Measuring squish is for head mods NOT setting the deck height. You apparently installed a thicker base gasket which reduced low-end grunt.

Hey Jeff, Here's a product idea. Sell a little solder kit with a selection of sizes. Thanks for all the videos!

Why do you do this? And what can I do if my bike has the wrong clearance ?

Jay Smith to pick the right base gasket (they come in diffrent thicknesses)

@benashlin8845

I think it is also called piston stop gap. There will be a speck for it and it will def effect you compression. you would change it by changing the gasket thicknesses between cylinder and bottom end. Maybe a pro can confirm this.

You do not adjust squish by changing base gaskets because you would change the port timing outside what us required in setting Dimension X.
