[Fot] TR3 Race pistons and liners

[Mike Harmuth]

Just an update on the pistons I ordered from Paeco. I received them
yesterday and they were not Venolia, as advertised, but Ross. They were the
specs advertised but not the brand, I asked for a refund and received a
prepaid return label this morning.

Buyer beware

thanks
