The easiest way to measure squish clearance is with 1mm to 1.5mm thick
flexible solder wire (available through most popular electronic stores). The
process is as follows:
•
Assemble the engine without a base gasket to the proper torque
specifications leaving off the spark plug and ignition cover (piston rings can
be left off to ease assembly).
•
Carefully insert the solder wire though the spark plug hole, into the cylinder
far enough such that the tip of the wire touches the cylinder wall against one
side or the other (not the front or back as the piston will rock and give
incorrect measurement).
•
Hold the wire at this position and turn the crankshaft, by the flywheel nut,
clockwise (counter clockwise can loosen the flywheel nut) one revolution to
‘smush’ the solder wire.
•
Pull out the wire and measure the solder thickness, approximately 2mm from
the end of the tip, accurately with calipers.
•
Compare your measurement with the chart below and install the
recommended base gasket.

- Engines may be properly assembled with gaskets thicker than 0.8mm (0.032”)
although a slightly different measuring technique will be required that uses base
gasket of known thickness at the starting point.
Upon completion, your final assembly squish clearance should agree with the
chart on the next page
