This is the way I do it:
cut a 6" piece of solder (pretty thin solder)
bend it at 45 degrees about 1cm from the end
pull out the glow plug
inset the bent end of the solder in the glow hole
make sure the bent end of the solder is butted up to the inside of the sleeve
rotate the piston past tdc, you will feel it getting tight as the piston flattens the solder
pull the solder out and measure the squashed end with a vernier.
that will be your head clearance.
