My custom pistons are in, I'm going to the shop to pick them up tomorrow. Hopefully I won't have any problems with them, but who knows...

Well, I got my new pistons today and they look absolutely sweet, except that I wanted a deeper, lower diameter recess cut instead of the way they did it. So any quench I was looking to gain with these pistons was probably eliminated.  Sigh... My mistake, however, as I didn't specify that I wanted an inverted-D cut before the shop ordered them. Oh well, I've reached the end of the road as far as pistons go, and these look to be very nice pieces that will take whatever I throw at them. I'm somewhat disapointed, but at $700, I feel it is unnecessary to go through this again. Granted, it wouldn't be quite that much, since I got pins and rings as well, but hey, I've still got other stuff to pay for. Anyway, I just had an absolutely fantastic chat with bryson's (turbo Q4) dad, who informed me that my head and valves are coated and ready to ship. Thanks for the call, and most definitely call again, I'd love to talk about engine management for your project. So, what this means is that my build is now down to the clutch situation, getting the pistons installed, getting pushrods of the correct length, and exhaust/intake work. I can't believe I'm on the home stretch already. Anyway, updates about critical (read: expensive) items may be few and far between from here out, as I'm going back to school tomorrow, but I'm always working on something and will keep this thread updated with respect to that.

I got my head and valves back from ceramic coating from forum member bryson. All I can say is wow, great job, and thanks. It looks fantastic. I will miss the uber-cool-looking shiny aluminum/stainless steel look from the past, but this coating is sweet and should help the performance among other aspects like operating temp. Pics (duh):
