I would hit up Brain and see if he has a piston with a dish already. I dont think it's thick enough for what you want. The piston dia. is 87.50 So if you find one (in metric) you can just ask for a .901 pin. I'll see if I can measure it.

the rods are way sick!!!! I am just a little bummed they don't have the K1 on the beam like the web site ones :cry: . They say K1 on the arp bolts though and my friend says their going to be inside the engine so who cares.

I have called Brian about 6 times and left one message. Hopefully I can order these sometime soon and they're not already sold out. I'm sure he is a busy guy...

Thanks again,

Lou

gorgeous pistons and rods, wish I had the money now to get them. Is there any kind of time frame to order these ? is it a limited run or can I get them when ever ?

Lou email him. Trust me it works better than calling him. His email is bnutter@wiseco.com. Last time i spoke with Tom at K1 he had a predelivery of like 10 sets of rods and the rest would come in soon. As far as I know they will have them in stock but ask to make sure.
