Why don't you ask Chris White, maybe he has some suggestions for you?

I am pretty sure you can get them coated to work in Aluail and use the correct rings.....we did discuss this before I think. Just not sure how well the coating lasts.

Lindsey racing offers JE pistons with alusil suitable coating for 999$ without rings. Heritage sells 104,5mm Mahle pistons for 1750$ including rings and all other necessary stuff.
Any news concerning Wössner or Wiseco pistons for alusil blocks? Or are suitable pistons easier found for nikasil bores? i suppose it's not a problem to have our blocks resurfaced with nikasil.

I can ask my friends who is the Swedish retailer for JE if its possible for JE to do pistons for Alusil. My 4 custom made JE with coated skirt was about $1100.
