Squish (piston engine)
text:
Squish is an effect in internal combustion engines which creates sudden turbulence of the air-fuel mixture as the piston approaches top dead centre (TDC). In an engine designed to use the squish effect, at top dead centre the piston crown comes very close to the cylinder head. The gases are suddenly "squished" out within the combustion chamber, creating turbulence which promotes thorough air-fuel mixing, a factor beneficial to efficient combustion. Squish effect may be found in side-valve, OHV a
