    Yes, this is awful. We have truly been abandoned by DD. Very expensive paper weights.

    Did you find the right pistons for the TIA - I understand that they have a wrist pin size of 1 3/4" with the 15:1 compression and have had production problems or are not being made...?
    I'm going to need a set in the near future and keeping my fingers crossed that they're going to be available.

    I was able to find (2) in Turkey. The guy charged me €2,000 for each one. Rip off, but cheaper than repowering the boat. I doubt MTU has resumed production of these yet, but please post on here if you do find some!
    Gracias!
