I'm confused. How does a flat popup that kisses a correponding flat recess reduce compression?
It shouldn't as long as the squish is the same. There would be a tiny bit of loss around the perimeter of the pop-up - as it obviously can't scrape the chamber. You can see on my piston design for the FlatCAD, I have a tiny "relief" in the area of the pop-up.
