Hey,
Just was kind of stoked that I found a set of 1.8L Beta1 pistons and rods on Ebay tonight. I bought em right away. As most of you know, they are a direct drop in replacement for our GK pieces, and lower the compression ratio. I of course will be getting new rings and bearings, and having the pieces inspected & cleaned at my machine shop.
But Damn! 20 bucks! Not quite sure if I'm going to use them or not, but I figure they'd be great to have. The headspacer from Alpine is working top notch, but I may try out the pistons, see what I think. Not that big of a deal to swap out.
