piston heads - questions.

hey so now i am about ready to be putting my 22r back togehter. My first task is to change my piston heads. I have 4 new heads, my question is: are they all slightly shaped diffrently and have to be put on the proper conecting rod or does it not matter and its just the conecting rods that matter wich order they go in.

cheers.

Differently ? no , they should all be the same
depending on your build ? ... crank reground , polish , new bearings .. it dosnt matter which rod goes (unless your not replacing bearings or crank work) where nor piston head goes where .. just be sure to plastiguage the new bearings

Post 84 heads are not compatible with early 22r blocks.
