Custom billets cast and machined in USA then imported and balanced together with rods and crank, etc here on Oz.
Probably the most expensive NA engine rebuild for a CA .... but it is what it is

Paint all done now to think about the road noise
Bought 3 packs of sound deadener (an extra one to be on the safe side) .... still not enough!
I need another pack to do the rest and the inside of the door skins

Tried those contacts etc .... (thanks for the replies)

Latest is that the billets will be supplied within 2 weeks. Then machining pistons. Then machining block and balancing. Then reassembling everything.
There's some light at the end of the tunnel.
Maybe I should rewire the car again

Still with a SAD FACE.
Been waiting for 2 months for new 0.5mm oversize pistons to be made for the CA18DE
yes you can buy CA18DET pistons almost from the supermarket or the local milk bar but they are only 8.5:1 or 9:1 compression ratio ... the naturally aspirated 'DE' has 10:1 compression
- not available off the shelf

again .... SAD FACE - ute sitting in my workshop waiting

Anyone know where to get pistons made that are not sourced from billets from either 'JE' or 'CP' ?

CA18DE Engine rebuild
Blown and scorched between 2 and 3.
Head is being done.
Bores pitted.
It's been hot tanked, deck to be checked, getting measured tomorrow for bearings, rebore, new internals, etc, etc, etc.

Doing it right, hopefully just once.
