Default SGP called today

It never seems to go the way you would like it to go . SGP called today and said that the Arias piston I got in the group buy are stock size and the block they had for me , had to be machined more than expected and would need .10 to .20 over pistons to work with the block he has . He said they are looking for another block and would call me in the next few days.....BUMMER.....I dont like working on my patients and I dont do it very well......Bill

I am pretty sure I have the problem solved

We will be put back a few days but I have sourced another block that has very low mileage and should take the standard pistons
