 Dave,I have a long and unpleasant tale about J&E I attempted to order for =
my Sprite race engine. After many months they crapped out and I went to Wis=
eco. The originally said 12 weeks for custom made, coated flat-tops. They t=
hen updated it to 6 weeks, and finally delivered the pistons in just 3 week=
s! They were also very easy to deal with regarding the specifics of the eng=
ine. I have since ordered forged 89mm coated set for my TR3 race car (throu=
gh BFE), and again they were way faster than they originally claimed. Good =
looking parts and very good to deal with. As an interesting aside, they see=
m to have purchased J&E, so maybe they will get better?=C2=A0
Cheers,Jake
