Well, we already confirmed that your French distributor was wrong! They just didn't do any research into this. I'm sure they did not want to make an international phone call to find out the real deal.
Thanks to Ace's help, Wiseco told us they WILL re-make a special run for US, The GS Resources forum members, and they are not really available through your French distributor unless the distributor contacts the same person at Wiseco that is doing our run and gets in on it.
Perhaps you could save on shipping if you had your set sent straight from Wiseco to your distributor as part of one of their regular shipments? May not be worth the extra hassle however.
It's not difficult to get them at all! We have already made tentative arrangements with Wiseco to have them manufactured! You could order 3 sets RIGHT NOW if you had $500 US Dollars per set. We are waiting to try and get 7 sets total purchased, so that the price will drop to $380 per set of 4. Much better deal.
Boris, the only thing that you are confirming is that your French distributor did not want to do any work for you to try and get some, and that you did not realize we already have a deal set up with Wiseco tentatively.
did he put a dial bore gauge in your cylinders and measure any wear or ovalization? Did he look at them for any gouges, scratches, scuffs, scrapes, or other wear or damage? maybe he doesn't realize that you can not purchase factory oversized pistons any longer for engines that need the cylinders bored out to get back to new spec. That is what we will have. Brand new spec sealing rings to cylinder walls, plus a whole lot more compression and more displacement @ 740cc 10.25:1 instead of the stock 673cc 9.4:1.
Your Wiseco distributor is clearly just not wanting to help you out and does not know that good piston manufacturers do custom runs all of the time.
We will have brand new cylinder bores, brand new pistons, brand new piston rings. At $380 for a set of 4.
Last time I checked, a set of OEM Suzuki STANDARD BORE piston rings and new circlips cost close to half of that.
We need to $140 USD for cylinder boring and honing, but really with stock bore you would want to give it a proper machine shop Sunnen hone job just for new stock bore rings, which would probably cost $50 USD to run stock pistons and new fresh OEM rings.
