- description
The piston head and the cylinder head meet each other at the end of every stroke, so replacing one and leaving the other is half a job.
Buying them as a set means the two faces are designed to land together, which is the sensible way to approach an air-seal rebuild on a Version 2 shell.
It is also the cheaper route than sourcing the two separately, and it removes the question of whether the pair you have chosen actually suit each other.

Good to know before you buy
If you are rebuilding the air seal, this and a nozzle cover most of what actually leaks.
Frequently asked questions
Why buy the two together?
They work against each other. A new cylinder head landing on a tired piston head gives away much of what you have just paid for.
What else should I replace at the same time?
The nozzle, since it seals against the cylinder head, and the o-rings if they are not supplied fitted.
Does it suit a Version 3 shell?
No. The Version 3 set is listed separately in the range.
