    Not sure yet. Rings are the easy part. The pistons on the other hand are not if you want them at a reasonable price.

    James been added on the list.

    As for time frame, it will probably be a few months I dare say. If time is an issue best to contact probe direct for a 1 off set.

    If it's a prob I'll take you off the list

    Cheers
    Steve

    Different rod length apparently. Even if you use the GNX rods, it will be a real bastard to balance the crank given the extra weight :(

    No :(

    If you're really keen on a set sooner rather then later you can get them direct from probe themselves. Price will be around the $800US mark, plus delivery.

    Hope this helps

    Cheers,
    Steve
