Are you just doing the top end? That sounds high on the piston. Does that price include gaskets?

[jt633]

Just piston kit lol

$275 for just the piston? You paid to much! North Tahoe motorsports has the entire kit, Vertex piston, rings, and gaskets(cylinder, head and PV) for $229.

Donn't mean to be a downer.

Live and learn! I'm big on supporting local buisness I'd have rather had a vertex instead of a weisco i also got a full bore front tire and a MX 51 rear

You must have ordered that from Smith's.

Good luck on your rebuild!

Shultz was my second guess lol. I'm not sure if we've met. We're not far so our paths could have crossed for sure.

Not recently but I think I will be hitting a couple this year if my exercise plan works out and I get my right arm (bicep surgery last year) back in shape and recover some stamina.
