I get my Vertex pistons from Jim Ruck. The moly coated ones are awesome to work with.

Sorry Cody, didn't have it when I posted the first time. Jim's phone number is 920-233-3833. He's in Wisconsin and has always been very fair on his pricing......but, he's done a lot of machine work for me over the years too.

Ruck is the man! He will hook you up good and take good care of you. I have seen him fix blocks that most people to consider junk and no good.

no luck :cry: seems to be a shortage of these nation wide. ive been finding one or two here and there. everyone says theres a shipment coming from Italy right now but they tend to take around 6 weeks coming through customs.
