Looking around youtube the other day I came across a video about setting the squish clearance.
Ive never really looked into this but im curious as to what clearance you engine builders are using 🤔
The google AI thingy *sigh* suggests 1-1.5mm and anything tighter you lose power🤔

I'm running 0.026" squish on my 1380.
Pistons 0.002" proud of deck and a 0.030" cosmetic gasket which actually measures 0.028"

In one of my Minis, I run 0.033" squish.

There is power to be had from paying attention to it.
