get your self 2 of them so you have a extra just in case.  :D
I had to wait a few months to get some so now I always keep a spare on hand.
The spares I have are for stock bore though.  I just sold my spare high comp one to a friend and have a spare low compression one for my turbo motor.

No kidding ... None anywhere . Tried KWS , Lee's , APE . I could get thin ones but not what I needed . Going to order a spare right away .

Thanks for the help John . I have spoke to you on the phone I'm pretty sure . I needed help on what to ask for when I ordered my pistons . I ended up getting a custom set of FSR forgings , 13/1 a while ago . I will call and ask , everything is together other than the headgasket ... getting really anxious to hear it run .

I called and ordered another gasket by Johns instructions . I was told 2 days to make and it would be overnighted after that . Not holding my breath yet but hope it arrives . The motor I'm building is a 01 1K . It has +3mm by Millenium , JE FSR 13/1 , Carillo H beams , Falicon basket , NPS powerhead ( porting , +1mm intake valves , Yosh keepers , new 750 springs , Serdi valve job ) and a set of Web 540/566 cams . Should be fun I hope .
