I have had all 3 head

My take on it is the malossi the compression seemed to high couldnt stop it pinking

The MMW compression was lower didnt pink but lost power

The sip head I would say the best part I ever bought for a Vespa

Interesting: Is your's standard stroke? (12:1 is too high for me too!)
No it's 60mm stroke with the packing plate at the base of the cylinder( rd350 reed mmw2 reed block 30mm pwk carb 1650g flywheel 23hp)
