Re: Cosworth 57mm Pistons HAVE ARRIVED
2 PMs received already. I will wait and see if there are any more over the next few days.
Due to the holidays, it is more difficult for me to reply. I will try to reply to all your questions as soon as possible.
Cheers and Happy Holidays everyone.

Re: Cosworth 57mm Pistons HAVE ARRIVED
I currently have a request in to both Cosworth, and my new piston vendor for quotation. My new vendor will have a longer delivery time because they want to build true forging tooling. This will make the pistons even stronger, and less expensive. The new vendor has made me a few sample sets athat are absolutely outstanding Quality - as they should be. They are the same supplier that makes many OEM pistons that we are familar with, as well as the piston for some well established F-1 Engine builders.
The bigger delay is, I just found our that Yamaha has discontinued the rings I was using from the FZR400. This is really bad news as it means that I don't have a ring for the pistons at this time. I have asked the piston companies of they can make the rings as well. Also, I have something on the works for an alternate solution that I should know for sure about shortly.
So, hang tight. If the new vendor comes through, I can get these piston kits significantly down in price. We shall see.

Re: Cosworth 57mm Pistons HAVE ARRIVED
Hi Mike I'm not buying pistons from you but can I ask a question on behalf of interested parties.
I read you are running nikasil liners on the 450 so are you having specific rings done for the nikasil, will people be ok in the standard steel bore.

We used NikaSil in the beginning. But, we have been using the original cast-iron for many years now. So, yes, everyone will be just fine.
