Message	The rod is about $60. No biggie. One stock size Nissan piston will cost me about $80. 6 for less than $500. 6 Wiseco pistons should be less than $600 for 87mm size. If I go larger, then I have to add the additional $400 or so to overbore it plus the time it will take. Going from $80-$600 is one thing but $80-$1000 PLUS getting my Z back after April 24th is something I was hoping to avoid. When the going gets tough, the tough go: "Screw it... I'll let bernie handle this. ADMIN DELETE" - zboost 15:45:05 01/31/04 ECZA Member # 613
