Custom is pretty much your only option. The 4agze pistons will fit but that won't do you much good unless you plan to turbo because I believe they'll lower the compression ratio.

i thought the made dome pistons for n/a 4a's. anyway, i always go to raceeng.com (or net, i'm not sure). they have a good selection of the top names in engine components. you won't find anything specifically for the 7a but they can make you a set of custom rods to fit some 4a pistons.

just use the 4a pistons and a 4a Blitz (or hks) .5mm head gasket. that should help out with the compression change. I'm fairly sure the 4a gasket will work. after all, the head itself does.

4afe and 7afe heads are the same... use a 4a-fe head gasket to gain compression, as well as using 4a-fe pistons on a 7a-fe....
if you want a spare head to have built or P&P and not have downtime, i have a 4a-fe head for sale ($50 plus shipping, as is... should be machined and possibly new valves) |
