As an Italian speaker I can confirm;stucatz said:It might depend on which region in Italy you are from, many dialects.
For instance, i had always assumed it might "tight head", however a good buddy of mine confirms the "narrow"
Testa = Head
Stretta = Narrow (or tight)
Stretta is actually the past tense of the verb Stringere = To tighten.
But TestaStretta translates better as 'Narrow head', relating to the valve angle which is narrower than the old head which I suppose could be 'TestaLarga' (Wide Head) and much more polite than Testa di Cazzo (D**k Head)
