I found the pistons I've been looking for on ebay for a great price, paid, then noticed something the next day in paypal.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but today FedEx stopped by with a USPS box that was all covered in tan tape. I wonder what he's doing, since they're K20A itr slugs shipped in a CP Pistons "SC7147" box:

They actually have thicker ringlands than CP pistons:

Anyways, I just need rings then bore my f22 block to 86mm to match. With the A6 head it will be 11.8:1, and the H22 head it will be 11.1:1 CR. It will also be a hair larger displacement than an 87.5mm H22. I've been thinking about getting Delta to regrind the cam(s) once I get it all running. Of course it will be using my 370cc injectors, maybe at 4bar pressure if they need it.
I found a build with an F23 block, A6 head, k20 type-s pistons (10.8:1cr), and 272 cam do 194whp on a Mustang dyno with DSM 450's.

I'm surprised you got them. Last time I paid him for something, I never saw it.

I most have been a lucky SOB, I order 3 things and had them within 5days on each order. :noel:

chris always treated me good with my orders to, fast shipping and always a bunch of free shit.

I may be overreacting a little, it was a k20z3 TB thermal gasket that was $18 shipped. Very minimal money, but its the principal of it. I sold the car a while ago now, but I might be willing to forget it and quit being an e-hater if he would send me a D thermal TB gasket, since I know he is reading this.

When I bought the 5 MAP sensors from him, I got 6, but one was starting to crack in half and another was some no-name aftermarket case. Still got 5 & fairly quickly too, so from a business standpoint I'm not displeased. I just wish he'd have posted the tracking number on ebay, I was getting worried.
