What doas this mean exactly?

Squisg is the distance between your piston at top dead center and the head. It can be accomplished by taking out your spark plus and sticking a piece of solder in the cylinder. Try to line the solder up with the pin and push it so it is tuching the cylinder wall the crank the piston over a few times. Measure the "squised solder with callipers. Do this on both sides of the piston. Gsry told me between .025 and .028 in and toby told me 0.024. mine measured 0.040 so i am getting the cylinder decked.

still confused? sorry !! lol

I always say .024 to .027 thats what I have always been told. But on the other hand Gary at G-Force Powersports now he does know his stuff and Im sure he got reasoning to follow with his numbers. Good luck with your new motor Ewathen

and I have been told .027 -.032 so somewhere in there is about right.
