These normally sell for $480. Um, I think I just answered my own question.

He says the part number is 029-198-075. That means they are not for a 914.
A LITTLE BIT RISKY .

HE HAS 6 NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS .
ON THE OTHER HAND , IT COULD BE A DEAL .

He says that they are for a 2L 914 but they're not. Maybe they're for a 2L bus.

hi
now i saw this guy selling some nice looking stuff a couple weeks ago do a search on west coast core well noby i guess had anything good to say although his feedback has obviously got better lately because of a lack of anybody here actually saying any good i left what would have been a prespective sale for a pair of new heads as i cannot get them done for that sort of price here in germany german machinists put too high a value on there own work!
id love to here some good news then i might step up to the plate but i dont think there is any!

that jjmoney guy is garbage. that was a thread where we hashed him and he piped up and made a fool out of himself. i cant remember which thread it was but he was trying to rip off someone. maybe hes not anymore but i dont want to be the one who finds out. sometimes you dont get asecond chance in this business.

Not quite the right term. Garbage doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is..........

You know just the fact that he goes by "jjmoneyhogg" concerns me about dealing with the guy.

Lol! I was thinking the same thing. Probably not a good handle to use when selling on ebay.

Be afraid, be very afraid....
Chin Sinn Pistons and Cyls from AA Products are THAT price......
True MAHLES are about $350.
I bought a set of *MAHLES* for $100 off of Ebay, from a guy that calimed to have bought
the set from JJ.....
One cyl fin was cracked, but I knew THAT in advance.....I figured THAT was why they
were one Ebay.
What I didn't know in advance was that the set was definitely *pieced* together from
bad sets as ALL the pins slid back and forth in the cyls WHILE I was unwrapping
the BOX!
I could hear ALL of the pins go CLANK in the pistons when I tilted the box!
All the pistons are unusable....I tried pins from three different sets.
But look at the bright side, I got 4 nice PINS and 4 retainers for
$100!
What a DEAL!
If the seller had told me that he had bought them from Mr HOGG, I would have never bid....
he claimed he was a novice builder and didn't know that pins were NOT supposed to be
that loose...
auction was AS IS so no return either.
CAVEAT EMPTOR!
