I've never heard of them......no address, no contact person, no phone numbers. I like to know who and where internet business are located before doing any business with them.

"If" they had all that machinary I'm sure someone would have heard about them.

I've used them before...this company supplied P/Cs to Mark Stephens and other engine builders.

Pistons made in Japan, cylinders made in Tawain

I believe European Motorsports or Motorworks uses them as well as many other shops.

Jake does not care for them, but they do work...tend to be a tad bit louder at startup until they warm up.

Jake seems to carry them in his online store. I wonder if he does anything extra to them before they get shipped out?

just make sure you inspect them good, the 1st set I bought from them one cylinder had a crack near the bottom (dropped at one time), another one had a small inclusion near the top from bad casting job...they replaced them with no questions asked...in fact they had one of thier people hand deliver them to me,

I wouldn't run....it increases the risk of doing a faceplant in the road.

Just walk slightly faster than you usually would.

There is a guy at the Shop Talk forums who is drag racing with this stuff. Do a search over there and I'm sure you'll find the info. I cant remember his name off the top of me head. (Actaully I can rememeber his name, I just cant read it off the top of me head. Anybody got a ladder and wanna help me see what I wrote up there?)

I offer them as an "ECONO" set for getting engines back on the road. I do not care for their rings at all and replace them as soon as they come into my shop.

I also magna flux all the cylinders, because I have seen them with holes right through the castings that give comopression leaks.

They are only good for patch jobs, IMHO...

They are "english" challanged, I've talked to them a few times and the main guy gave me the skinny on what Mark Stephens is up to now (or was when he shut down his business)

Like I said, the stuff works, but don't expect the same life or duty that you'd get from factory or the more expensive stuff.......

for a lot of people here, they'll work fine and their motors will never know the differance
