Piston and Cylinder head compatibility

Post by Glencoeteen »

Hey everyone! so I went and bought a 2000 R couple weeks ago, replaced the fuel pump got it running, it ran perfect for couple days then for some reason i can't explain it dropped number 4 exhaust valve killing the head and putting a hole in the piston. but luckily the bore is good shape. now i have been told that a 2.4 LPT piston will drop right in, and that any 99-04 Single VVT Head will fit. anyone out there can confirm?
