Looking at Dr Blair's work. What you are looking for is squish velocity. Squish velocity is not only a function of piston to head clearance but also squish ratio (amount of quench area to bore area). In other words the larger my squish ratio the more piston to head clearance I can have to get the same squish velocity.
