[QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 5356, member: 25"] These production quality pieces have been in the works for a VERY long time. After some prototype work to get a better idea of where I wanted to end up - I started shopping for a machine shop with the capabilities to do what I was asking - once I found one and found an guy willing to work with me the order was placed (July 2009!) - in an effort to keep costs down the parts were to be run with "similar" parts to reduce setups, reduce costs on coatings, etc... the turn down in the economy hit everyone - including the jobs that were "similar" to mine - so it took longer than expected to get a high quality "low" cost part. To give you an idea on how tight these things are - these are setup on a 50 millionths +/- 10 millionths slip fit. That is 0.000050" +/- 0.000010" slip fit. It was several thousands of dollars worth of air gauging tools to add on to a $$$$$$$ air gauge machine just to be able to accurately measure and evaluate these parts. At the end of the day these are the highest quality components that I feel can be made by anyone. Before the final fitment of the parts I sent them to Europe to receive the same coating that is found on some of the most advanced plunger and barrel setups in the high end billet injection pumps being used in competition.
