Does anyone know anywhere or anyone who has Wiseco .020" over pistons for the LD9 in stock? The two eBay companies that supposedly have "4 in stock" actually do not, once you contact them, even though it says throughout the description of one that "if it's on eBay, we have it." What asses.
I want them quicker than 4+ weeks

Not going to happen. Weisco is 5 minutes from my work, and I just called. Pickup is 3 weeks....They do have 1 set of .040 over, "low compression pistons."

If that's all that's readily available, I shall. Thanks for checking out, -MD- Enforcer, I'll get in touch with them.

Wiesco is a tard sometimes...you may need to track the part number down. I should have writen it down.

I assume it would probably be K584M91, since this is what they say they carry:

They actually had them in stock. I think they had had them for a little while too, hence the good price. Not sure if that was the only set they had though, so one might get lucky again.

Hence the reason I started dealing with Diamond. I think the longest I waited for a custom piston was 2.5 weeks because the coater took a few days longer than expected.
I guess I was just kind of lucky for the piston set. I found out later that most companies don't actually have items of this nature IN STOCK. Found that out the hard way for my Eagle rods and Cometic head gasket. I had purchased two different sets of rods which they had said are ready to ship (one ebay and one from nopi) but come to find out that wasn't their true status. Good luck ion C2.

Called Wiseco, the guy said he has no idea what the person you (-MD-) were talking to was looking at, but all they have are the standard and .020" over pistons. He says the .020" will be back in stock Dec. 8...

Called Race Engineering, they don't have any in stock, but said Wiseco would get them in Dec. 8. And that they would be
$457. Great price, great service. I'll likely order drop-ship through Race Engineering. I forgot to ask Wiseco direct what their pricing is but it's probably close to "MSRP" of $526.10.
Thanks guys. If anyone has a set laying around or knows of any other companies that might have them in stock, let me know. I want to get this thing machined and back on the road ASAP.

email this guy chrisfeltham31@hotmail.com. He's around here on the forum. I finally got my rods from him. He's usually very prompt on replying. I think he may have a set of pistons you're looking for.

I got mine from Karo... he had them in stock...

Wiesco is either REALLY helpful, or completely tards. I have had good and bad interactions with them over the years. It is nice that they are so close to my house though.

They jerked me around for 5 weeks about a set of pistons and after many lies they finally claimed that they couldnt make my pistons (10:1 if my memory serves me correct) because they didnt have a mold of the head. Amazing how after five weeks of supposedly having the program to cut the pistons ready and just waiting for the machine to free up so they could cut them, they would still need a mold of the chamber to be able to make the pistons...

Did you email him? Looks like he's got what you're looking for at $375! I'm just not sure if they're .020 over, but I think so. He just reposted in the classifieds...

I e-mailed him the day you suggested it, and received zero response.
