Those forged pistons look great! [:u]

Where abouts did you get those top mounts kr10?? Are they large hole or small hole?? I'm looking for some large hole adjusters but haven't have any luck!!

cheers for the support :)

dropped everything off today. getting the head machined to fit the bigger valves, the spring seats opened up to take the kent springs, the ports matched to the inlet and exhaust manifolds. also getting the block sonic tested and machined for the bigger pistons and everything balanced and a few other little things.

hopefully should have a motor ready to put together in the next few weeks
