I ordered JE pistons for my alky BBC, but they sent SRP's instead, I was in a hurry, so I used them anyway, against my better judgement, they wiped out in 25 runs (skirt problems) switched to Ross pistons, now have over 100 runs on same combo, no problems at all. I learned a painful and expensive lesson from JE, do research, don't assume that just cause they make and sell pistons, they know everything (or anything)

 

Knowing they were wrong & you still used them. How is that JE's fault? Other than that you were shipped the wrong parts for your motor.
You should have called & returned them.
Did you give them the part number that you wanted?

 

Yes, I gave them the JE part number I wanted, they substituted SRP's without telling me, when I called them about the brand change, I got told "just as good, we do it all the time" I trusted them (my fault) I was in a hurry (as it had taken 2 weeks to get what I didn't ask for) so I used them (actually, used them up, would be a better description) my fault also, lesson learned, chalked it up to learning curve, they didn't make it right.

 

Got what i needed thanks everyone that replied.
Mike SRP pistons are the same as JE. SRP are a shelf piston made the same way with the same materials.

 

I have had problens with JE as well. More than once which is my fault for going back to them. I switched to Venolia and have had no more issues.

 

Yep you got it We went with Venolia as well.....

 

Mostly Arias here, some Venolia.

 

I have used Venolia, Ross-C&A, Aries, and J&E over the years
I have been able to sink and scuff everyones piston just the same
I honestly think i liked the aries the best until the boss cracking became an issue as they were in my opinion, the most affordable, seemed like most everyone was using them

 

Aries here and still using them if I need a set of pistons on friday and I call on Monday I will have them on friday...JE....takes weeks weeks and more weeks.. as for rods Jerry at Brooks..he has NEVER let me down..Dave
