Yes Tig you did get lucky as that is certainly a long time but not so much compared to what I and others are experiencing. Brad, it's funny you mention the K1 rods. I ordered the Molnar rods, and also a set of K1's from a different vendor figuring I'd use whatever set came in first and save the others for a future build. I realize all of the rods are originating from the same place overseas, but figured my place in line may be higher for one or the other of the orders and there may be a chance of getting one sooner than the other. Oh well, the wait continues. Brad, if by some chance you decide to sell your K1's I would be willing to pay over retail pricing for them. However I do understand your hesitance. As of right now I'm looking at is March 15 and even if they do show up on time, the engine builder usually runs 3-6 months out so when you factor that in it could very well be another lost summer.
