Where i get my engine machining done they told me that the ACL quality had gone done not sure why, something to do manufacturing process?. They recommend Hypertech pistons. I think i paid $350 for 86.5mmPistons,Hasting rings, King Bearings(Main&Big) and full Durapro gasket set.

ACL have also been good to me over the years but they are pricey for me personally to buy as I get trade discount at Repco and they stock Hastings (Made in US of A but we wont hold that against them).

So far i have been told to get chrome rings not cast ones and i have looked up prices for ACL rings and bearings and they are a good price.. What other brands should i be looking at? I just want to know that whatever i end up using will last well, so if anyone has used a particular brand or type and had good results then let me know, especially if it was on a ca18det or similiar.. _____ Find local movie times and trailers on <http://au.rd.yahoo.com/mail/tagline/*http://au.movies.yahoo.com> Yahoo!
