• Hi everyone,
  
  I recently had my timing belt tensioner go, and the timing belt skipped several teeth.  The net result was some bent valves, and severely dented pistons.
  
  So I'm looking at a rebuild.  I especially need some Canadian sources for quality parts - especially oversize pistons and rings.  I'd appreciate some feedback.

  Thanks,

• www.autopartsway.ca is great...good quality parts, unbeatable prices, delivered quick.  Doesn't look like they carry oversize pistons...would be good source for everything else though.

• Thanks for the replies.  The dealer (in Prince George) wants over $400 per piston.  One of the local parts places (ARO) can get 0.5mm oversize for about $173 each.  It's nice though to have some on-line options that are reliable.

  prothes "right way industrials" are $189/set.. you just need to use better rings than what the pistons come with..
