These cheapest and easiest thing to use is a piece of solder, then you can use a caliper to measure your squish. Other than that there are gauges and stuff you can use but they are not cheap.

You're talking about 'quench area' and trying to use a tool that screws into the spark plug hole? I doubt you are going to get an accurate measurement.


The quench area on most 2 strokes is around the outside-top of the piston.


Your best bet to measure quench area on such a chamber design is to use clay.


But if you're talking about doing it with the cylinder still bolted to the engine, then you need to use different gauge wire.

here is my tool I designed and made for myself for port timing and helps with getting the numbers for squish.
