They are now bart i sorted it

So f#@cken slutted is the most polite way of putting how i feel right now. Been waitng for new Keith Back pistons to turn up from the states and they arrived today. I opened the box and they would have to be the worst quality piston i have ever seen, i reakon i could have done better in my shed melting down double brown cans in a old pot and gas torch and these things are ment to be the ducks nuts. There were chunks missing out of them, scratches all over the skirts like they had seized and burs all through the ring grooves. Im going to america tomorrow to throw them through their window, kick their counter over and beat up the mexican who made them, well not really but they are going back and im going with a different brand that is german made.

on the plus side my ARP rod bolts turned up along with felpro race series full gasket set that are an extremly good quality which i am really happy with. Going to get pistons sorted this week as i want this motor going now.

P.S if anyone wants some cheap pistons let me know, they might make good ashtrays or paper weights.

Bummer news dude.
Mahle Pistons are the ticket, Mahle and ACL have gone into partnership in Aussie for a possible option for you.

Mahle is exactly what i will be ordering, their specs are not as good as what i was promissed on paper but im sure they will be better in flesh which wouldnt be hard.

I'd love to see a photo of these pieces of poos

one option, list them on e bay, put up photo, list who you bought them from, and that they ate brand new etc and basically slam the fuck out of the supplier, no one likes bad publicity, so with some luck they should purchase them for dble what you paid (buy now) in order for the auction to be removed.
an e-mail to the supplier with the auction listing might get their attention as well.
or if you pay my ticket ill go to america with you and help kick over the counter

My supplier is an awesome company that was basically only an on seller of these pistons that never even opened the box so not really their fault it's Keith black that's the problem so will be ringing them in morning but I really do like your thinking of the public bagging haha. I might save my ticket for when I go to sema show in America next October

Gutted dude. I bet it feels like Christmas morning after asking Santa for a new bike running down to open presents only to receive clothes.

I punched Keith black pistons into Google and it didn't take long to find huge amounts of info surrounding bad piston quality. Its a shame because I was excited about getting a set of these also
