CP PISTONS........I'm getting pissed
Block has been sitting in Earls garage, sleeved and ready to go since March. Been waiting 3 weeks now for bloody pistons. Emailed them - no answer, phoned them (long distance) on hold for about 10 minutes, never did get an answer.
They better get their *** in gear, or there will be some nasty remarks on here.....

Pretty sure they are on backorder all over. 93lsivic was told there will be a wait for the pistons for his personal vehicle as well. This is a busy time of year for piston manufacture's I would imagine.

Re: (Arturbo)
I too, feel your pain. Good things are worth waiting for
Art is right about the castings (aluminum slugs)
There is a problem at the foundry which probably started from a mining strike in Bumfuque, South America

Re: (The Whip Factory)
JE does not make an off the shelf 83mm, like CP does. Lead time at JE is 8 weeks for that size. I have tried most everything to find these pistons for my customers.

Yup, make sure no one here thinks I am upset with Earl, he has even tried to buy back sets from shops he had previously sold them to.
Let's hope I can drive my car before June.....

Re: (Turboteggy)
Turboteggy your block is not alone over there. Mine is chilling over there also,but we just have to be patient. I sent it out a while ago and forgot when I sent it.

Re: (Hella_JDM)
Its really not CP's fault tho. They have to rely on other sources to supply them with resources and if those sources are out then it has a domino effect. I know right now that China has purchased a large majority of steel and has caused the price of steel to increase. For example due to the rise in steel my cost of the InlinePRO manifolds went up.

Re: CP PISTONS........I'm getting pissed (Turboteggy)
Suprised I got mine so quick since I'm the king of backorder ****! Bearings on the other hand from acl took awhile...
Wait it out man, the cp's are worth it!
