I'll do the above (except for stock thickness headgasket), but with high-end Pro-Wave 2000 rod bolts (209-6003) for US $278 shipped.

garrett

I too had to wait 6 weeks for my 79.5mm pistons because they had no stock, AND then they sent me the wrong ones. They charged me $130 postage and packing and when it arrived, the postage cost was on the box, only $53 !!!! I guess that means the cardboard bocx the pistosn were in must have been impregnated with gold to get eh other $77 ! I felt a bit robbed there.

I must adímit I found their communication was also pretty bad, I had much better and more professional results by contacting Wiseco directly. They seem like a top notch bunch of people to deal with.

It's strange you guys have had bad experiences..... IPP is a huge company.... they are actually an offshoot of flatlander and they have offices all over the world.

I know a few people that have dealt with them and had no problems getting Opel parts out of the USA.

Who knows.... perhaps they don't realize that there are vehicles with Opel drivetrain driving around all over North America.
