Originally, Malossi did not supply a head with with this cylinder kit and engine tuners would have to get a stock head re-profiled. Malossi now produce a cylinder head which is a perfect match for the barrel and which is finished to a higher standard than the stock Piaggio heads. If a long-stroke crankshaft is used, however, the Malossi head is unsuitable (even with extra gaskets) and a cylinder head profiled for this purpose, such as that produced by MMW, will have to be fitted to the barrel.
