Throwing some good condition forged agu pistons for the time being.
Only going aiming for about 350ish for the near future so not too worried yet  :grin:

Worked out at about £600 for the rifle drilled forged rods and install packages which contains a few things including metal water pump head, gasket set and racing Kevlar timing belt etc  :cool:
