do a bit of seaching on the site theres a sh!t load of info if you look

however all astron 2 heads including all magna heads need flat top pistons or the comp is to low - I think the comp is to low even with 3 mm shave off them with flat tops ( but maybe thats just me )

if you are going to cam up your engine there is a better than fair chance you will need to fit solid slipper type rocker gear off an astron 1 head
