i have found the following companys that manufacture type 4 cylinder and piston sets. are there any more that i am missing and which do you perfer yourself. EMW, Mahle, and Econo. these are priced from $300 - $500. ive also been researching nickies but they are over $2000. are they worth it. what are the real world advantages in a daily driven street car. the way i see it i can rebuild my engine 4 times for the price of 1 set of nickies. thanks for the help.
