Hi Jason,

I would recomend JP Pistons right there in Southern Australia for your pistons, they will make them up as assemblys giving you your oversize pistons, rings, and pins. (http://www.jp.com.au/JPPistons.html)...For gaskets I use Olson's Gaskets here in Washington State (olsonsgaskets.com) I have always been happy with their parts and service....
Good luck on your engine rebuild...Bill

Hi Jason. Welcome to you as a Durant owner in Oz. Bill is right on the money with JP. Several of us have JP pistons in our motors. What model do you have? Two different bore sizes in 14L. Terry Harris sources gaskets from New Zealand at a good price.
