Has anyone used this supplier for parts for their Chevy 216?

A good quality supplier and delivers quickly.

Bought alloy pistons from them for my model T this with the Hastings piston rings
they supplied to suit transformed the smoothness of the engine and increased power.

Suspect they also reduced the strain on the crankshaft and I was well pleased with the total package.

All the best

Regards

Col

Default Many of Overhaul parts I've used came from them

Hi Scott

Yes, I have used them directly and through machine shops over the years, one of the most reliable sources I have found, if they make a mistake or they send the wrong part they stand behind the product. In that vain if you are ordering parts ahead for a project do check everything when it arrives. Look for the obvious stuff like shipping damage but also check that things like measurement of the pistons match what was ordered and how it is marked.

Only problem that comes to mind on parts for 5 engine rebuilds is one bunch of rings that had the wrong size on the package, not an EGGE mistake but one of their suppliers. Problem was evident once the first set were put on a piston end gap was way off. I'd had the parts for 6 months when I discovered the problem, EGGE sent the correct ones very quickly.

Cheers Phil
