Does anyone know what piston & liners cost for a d 315 theese days ?

I see some interesting prices here.....the Cat stuff is probably about double.
Don't know anything about this outfit....any one done business with them and used their products?

CTP brand is Costex Tractor Parts. Imported. If I remember correctly they will only sell to wholesalers but I was able to get them to identify the country of origin for the product I wanted to purchase.

At those prices I pretty much assumed they were import....has anyone used the piston and liner kits from either CTP, FPDiesel or Regal?

We have a couple of sets of these running now. The D333 liners from FPDiesel and the D320 liners, pistons and rings from Regal I believe. The D320 has hardly any hours on it so far, steering packed it in on the 922 right after we got it running after the overhaul. We've put quite a few hours on the D333 in a 12E grader. So far so good.

Both these machines were purchased not running, disassembled engines and we had to get parts engines to finish both of them because of lost and damaged parts from the previous owners.
