hi all.  denny ligerot  gets these 400 pistons made through wiseco from time to time. he was finally free up to return my phone calls tonight. he would like some type of commitment on at least 10 pistons to make a run of them. i can personally commit to 3 for myself. al buehner only has pistons up to 81.75 mm.  i have at least 3 that need a 82mm. denny would like input on what sizes to have made. he states that probably 3 different sizes. i would vote for 82 mm for certain. after that, probably 82.5 in there somewhere so after that either 82.25, 82.75, or 83mm. i know i have at least one hole big enough for an 83mm. also, rings for a 82.75 would probably have to be played with some, down from 83mm. so speaking for myself, i would probably go with 82mm 82.5 and 83.  
  i have been concerned with the lack of larger size pistons for the 400's so hopefully some of you that need them can commit to a purchase as well. feel free to chime in...  chi jer
