You won't have the tools unless you are Machinist. it's hard to measure a two-cycle cylinder Because of the ports. But you can set it on a flat surface like glass and see if it rocks. And you could measure squish, which generally is the space between the piston and the top of the cylinder with solder. And you could look at ring gap, space between tips of rings.
I junked them and you know that. Replacing them made more sense to me than getting the tools. I took one to a machine shop and he said he it was junk and he would not take time to look at it. I am not interested in the least in working on a cylinder to make it right.
That was a bold statement...
I do have the tools. Yet I’m not a machinist. Just kidding, no disrespect intended...
Looks like my telescope gauge will be just about maxed out though, but it should work. It says it goes up to 2 1/8. I’ll pull some cylinder measurements when I have a few minutes to spend out in the shop. I’m trying to catch up on yard work at the moment.

Wow, that is really tight squish. It seems the cylinders have gone from one extreme to the other. Mine was .065 with gasket. I would rather have your problem than mine. I would get a thicker gasket. The only problem I see with 2 gaskets is it's adding another place for a possible leak, but I am no expert as some of these guys on here are.
I misread the post. I guess I need to get my reading glasses. I read it as .007 not 0.07
