Hello. I was wondering if you guys could educate me on the squish. What it is, what it does, what it means, etc. and how to improve on it. Thanks so much. I learn so much from this site.

Back in the '30s Harry Ricardo, who basically developed the modern Otto-cycle engine, discovered that a squish-band was very helpful in creating turbulence in the combustion chamber. This had the effect of reducing likelihood of detonation, other factors being equal.
Directed turbulence from squish-band around most of piston crown is common in diesels, to promote mixing of fuel and air. For completeness of combustion.
