Got the ebay piston and unfortunately it's 14g heavier than those in the Egge set. Also a different design. Looks very similar to the Silvolite or Enginetech available from Rockauto (which are cheaper than the Egge's).

So called Egge yesterday and much to my delight YES they will sell me ONE piston. grin Due to arrive tomorrow morning via FedEx. They also match by weight, which I didn't know till the Egge guy asked how much mine weigh.

If Egge hadn't been able to sell one my only options would've been six of the heavier cheaper ones from Rock Auto or six of the more expensive lighter ones from Egge. The Egge's look the same as pictured in the shop manual, and are presumably duplicated from the original design. So I'm glad to have the full Egge set again without having to buy two complete sets. That woulda been nuts!
