The compression of the head is with 57mm stroke and 0.9mm squish edge 11.5:1. Due to the cleverly constructed squish edge, the head is nevertheless very well drivable on engines with strong resonance exhaust systems. If the engine is equipped with a 60mm long stroke shaft, the compression ratio increases to 12:1 (assuming the same squish edge), an enlargement of the squish edge to 1.3mm reduces the compression again to 11.5:1.
Note: Due to the special piston crown curvature of the Malossi 210 (outside with an angle that changes to a curvature towards the inside) the cylinder head has a slightly negative squish edge. This is intentionally designed and not a manufacturing defect. It helps to cool down the highly stressed ring zone of the piston and thus provides even more stability of the cylinder.
TIP: The centering bushes are also available separately (see accessories) so that the head can also be used on other cylinders (with Malossi piston or its piston crown). So the old Malossi cylinders can also be combined with this head and can be optimally centered on the cylinder through the fitting bushes (bores on the cylinder must be widened).
