Super Jet Squish test?

[superjetchet21]

Im new to the site, this is probably a dumb question but trying to figure out compression issues and a lot of guys are telling me to do a squish test... what is that?

Maybe , you have to verify the squish size

For that you have put a soft weld wire in plug hole to take the space between piston and head dome at DTC
You need to have 1,2 mm ,minimum

I hope you understand something with my poor technical english ;-)))

Make sure when you do this to place your solder above your wrist pin

Perhaps most important: Make sure that the solder goes all the way to the edge of the bore. That's where the critical measurement is.

okay, great sounds good!

to combine everything said above. Bend solder in an L shape and make sure that it goes all the way to the cylinder wall from the spark plug hole. when testing make sure the solder is parallel and directly above the wrist pin. only spin or crank the engine over a few times. measure the flattened end of the solder with a micrometer or a caliper. Good setting is .045 + or - .005.
