We were assembling a 2.0 type IV with euro pistons for my son Aric's 912. One of the cylinders is measurably taller when placed in the spigot in the block. Fortunately I had a matched set of factory cylinders that were honed and sitting in a box. So these will need to go to the Chevy guys low buck machine shop to get dressed. I guess I will be ordering a set of pistons now as we used the last set of euro's we had.
I heard of this cylinder height issue with others but so far I have had good luck with the parts. Be careful out there fellas! There is some crap flying off the shelves these days. |

Measure everything with those. Their QC appears to be hit-or-miss, at best.

Yup. I ended up buying a surface plate and height gauge in order to check cylinders before we install them. Of course, every set I've checked since buying them has been perfectly matched. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Their customer support is or used to be good, I had an inclusion in a cylinder wall and they actually sent someone to my house to swap parts and I'm a good 45 minutes away with 0 traffic!
I'm guessing they had been doing a parts run in my area, but it was still nice. |

We bought the set from a second party that never used them. Just pays to check things out no matter what you buy. As Mark stated, The other ones I used were fine.

Can't hurt to call him personally, in these days of unlimited long distance cell phones! Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
