    Regarding the CDI I have, I read the same thing, so it's fine. I was looking for Ignitech, which is a little cheaper, but it turns out that in my country imports up to $200 are tax-exempt; you only pay for shipping and the product itself. If it costs more than $200, you have to pay an additional 60% in taxes. Regarding the CDI head and curve, I was asking about possible detonation or some other symptom that might not be very positive or beneficial. I was looking at the RSA 125 head design; I didn't expect it to work the same, but at least it seems like a design I could consider reliable or better than the current one. Everything is quite complicated here in Uruguay: resources, possibilities, etc. Perhaps with a test bench or sensors it would be easier, combined with the knowledge acquired over the years. There's a visa I could apply for; it's somewhat expensive, but it allows me to go to the UK to work and travel for two years. Maybe I could try my luck there. There's a lot of desire, but the problem is the resources available here. Thanks @Calum

    I usually aim för 0,7-0,8mm squish for these engines, I think that would be good for the 3mb head too. You could also use a Athena cylinder head (they have inserts), I've seen those sold separately somewhere before. Check that the profile of the piston dome matches the profile of the squish area in the head.

    Update on a problem. i have pwn on bike now nad i remover rubber under seat, bike now sound so good. And i got so much on a power, i thing this pwk like more air. I put bigger main jet in it and i get better throtle response on idle!, those carb are weird. And torque in low rpms is crazy. 3rd gear on 3500 rpms, i give it throtle and bike pulls like crazy right into a power band, so much low end grunt, and a sound of a intake its so good with a aftermarked silencer. I am so happy with a bike now. And those pwk copies are good, just jet it corectly. I am planing on opening a expansion chamber and cleaning it out, and removig everything from it, cuz i saw there is like lining inside. Should i remove it or not ?
