The time has come to replace a few well worn parts in our
83.5 -1.9w/c-westy.  Have priced the goods out at my local supplier and
would like to run the numbers past list members to see if they are  ball
park.  I love supporting my local shop "cause they're there when ya need
them", but would like to weight my option on importing them directly from
the U.S   Prices are all in Can. funds

Pistons & cylinders-$440
main-------------------$100
Gasket set------------$180
Rings-------------------$  50
Rod Bearings--------$  15
Valve guides---------$    5

I know this is a short list of needs,leaving out push tubes,lifters,cam
etc...only an example of the price structure. Please reply with price
quotes. It would be very appreciated.

*Attention those from the lower mainland, B.C  if you have a discount at Cal
imports or Bow Wow I would enjoy taken full advantage of it !!!    Labatts
or Becks?
**If none of us here enjoy a discount at Cal-import or Bow-Wow let's get
together and open an account? 15% to 30% could be shaved from our parts
cost.
