ticso vs ih

Posted by riverbend on December 26, 2006 at 15:37:48 from (208.160.34.161):

Comparing prices, it looks like the IH pistons and sleeves cost 3-4 times as much as the TISCO ones. The IH gaskets are 3 times the tisco price. Why is there such a big price difference ?

The thing that is bothering me is that the spread is so much. I have always worked on the idea - Price, Service, Quality, Pick two.

TISCO is doing sleeves and pistons for about $70 a hole. A piston for a chevy 350 is $35-50, and they made millions of them. At that rate, it does not leave much for the rings, pin, clips, and the sleeve.

IH is $250 per cylinder and even if tractor parts are 2-3 times the price of car parts, it still seems a little steep.

I can buy a set of factory pistons for a Norton motorcycle for $200 and they never made nearly as many of them as IH made C-123 motors.

Facts ? Opinions ?

Thanks

Greg
