[QUOTE="davidd, post: 106041, member: 1177"] I ran JE pistons a few years ago. Carleton Palmer ordered them and I bought them from him as we used the same piston. They worked fine and I don't think Carleton had any serious problems, but he wanted to switch to CP. JE had a reputation in the road racing community of making mistakes on orders, but I cannot say that Carleton had any problems. When I ordered the last four pistons from CP they cost $360 each with rings, ceramic coating, teflon coating, milling under the crown and shipping. [ATTACH type="full"]26624[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]26625[/ATTACH] The last time I bought steel the price had jumped 60% to me. I would assume that aluminum prices jumped about the same. Many of these older companies are run by older guys. They need only a good reason to retire and tariffs on metal tend to provide that. David [/QUOTE]
