What ya mean 2 and a half gaskets? .. I had 2 head gaskets( metal) and compression was around 125 ..which is safer on pump gas..should get a little hotter than 260 i think.. And for your weights just gota play with them

Which pipe are you using? Try a stock clutch

Greetings:

Polini contesta is doing good to go 60. The trouble may be with the port timing with your ministroker setup. I tried that crank and unless you really know what you're doing AND measure with a degree wheel what you have, you can kill the Genius-Italian porting that Signore Polini worked so hard to perfect.

if your running a corsa with a mini stroke. right there is your issue plus to much gearing. a corsa already has a high duration with a stock stroke crank. running it with a mini stroke crank puts it through the roof. the result you got is exacty what it does when running that combo. so when guys say that setup is hamma. they are full of it. if you want the full potential of that bore. run a stock stroke crank with it and dont over gear it. if not your just straining the motor

So thats a contesta not a corsa? I ran the metal gasket that came with the polini kit then 2 metal head gaskets..wht baka is saying is true.. Its meant for a stock stroke.. And over gearing just strains it.. My top speed was 69mph .. Noticed a big difference in torque with the ministroke crank though and the scorpion pipe compared to stock stroke and a pg long corsa
