I am looking to purchase high compression pistons (over bore) and trim them down to suit...my engineer recommended Sperry Valveworks in the US, but I have heard some bad press about his turn around times and I must admit I have emailed him for the last week and had no response and cant get a phone number either...
Anyway thats enough to start looking elsewhere, is there anyone out there that could recommend someone who can help me with these sort of performance products? I'm happy to deal with someone over seas as well......

Frank , as always get online and see what Richard at CLASSIC ALFA has to offer or ALFAHOLICS they have some good stuff if you want to go down that path. All I know is that I had great trouble getting new pistons and sleaves in this country at the particular time I was rebuilding my motor, eventually I found a set of Mondials in Adelaide. I want standard pistons, but that doesn't mean no one does performance goodies. Try Manning Motors in Sydney, Rob might be able to source you a set.
By the way, did you get your catalogues/manuals etc from Milan ? Did they send you a parts catalogue ?
