New barrels and pistons

Took the opportunity to replace the barrel and piston set for a better quality Mahle set. 


Also upgraded the pushrod tubes to a set from CSP which have a wider head opening. 22mm up from 19mm with the scat tubes, which should avoid the pushrods "touching".


The seal sits out a bit due to the width but presume will seal ok. Makes you wounder why the aftermarket heads don't have an increase hole size for greater clearance with higher lift cams. 

 
They come with a fitting tool which maks the install super easy.
