    I agree. So pretty.....
    I'm not arguing...I'm just offering an endless series of contrary points of view.

    Ive just had a quote from my supplier and the pistons will be £990 and the rods are £1185. 4 weeks build time on the pistons and 10 weeks on the Rods. That is delivered to me, then theres shipping on that to where ever..... Im not willing to supply these until my engine is built and weve checked the tollarances.

    Actually no. After a quick google. it turns out that it's almost exactly the same time depending on the whale concerned.

    I can get them quicker

    But i'm trying to keep the cost down and ensure that everything is spot on

    "Zentac" How long have your pistons and rods taken from 1st thought to delivery ??

    Also WRD ! Same question

    Wondering when you would show up

    So are you going to share your magnificent pistons, rods etc etc with CVR4 to

    The more options the better

    And obviously it would be great to see you getting some return for your time and investment
