What size should my 100cc/79cc china engines squish clearance be? I heard the minimum has to be .7-.9mm but does that mean it can be higher? what is best number for performance?

It’s there to create turbulence in the combustion chamber. Some designs don’t use it at all but in general less clearance is better. Here’s a couple of heads with different designs one fairly open one with a squish band.
