Not sure - Paul looked at them, said four were fine and one was showing signs of wear, so we decided to replace the lot.

All the pistons and rod assemblies are balanced to within half a gram of each other - Paul got really serious about it when he built the engine (stock tolerance is something like 20 grams)

Is that a standard head cast wise ?

By your command.
