Gentlemen – Please excuse the late response as I’ve had some internal “technical issues.” Nevertheless, there seems to be a bit of confusion regarding who Egge is and what it does and doesn’t do. I’d like to take this opportunity to respond to several of the previous comments listed on this forum. First of all let me clarify that Egge Machine, established in 1915, is (still) a family operation, currently in its third generation of ownership. Egge has supported and endorsed the AACA and its members for generations by supplying internal engine components for antique and classic vehicles from the early 1900s to 1985. And, as it has for generations, Egge continues to cast and machine aluminum pistons in our Santa Fe Springs, CA facility (just east of Los Angeles). Regardless of what you may have heard, we have never outsourced these operations to offshore vendors. It is my job as CEO to ensure that we manufacture Egge product as efficiently as possible so off-shoring does not become a reality – as it has for some of our competition. It is true that, on occasion, we must source some components and raw materials from overseas vendors because we are not able to source them on this side of the pond. Nevertheless, our pistons and valves are made in America - by Americans. Some have commented about “Egge pistons not being as good as they used to be…” The fact is the quality of Egge pistons produced today is superior to any product we’ve previously manufactured – I guarantee it. We are always concerned with improving our products; therefore, we are very interested in hearing from any customer – whether you purchase product directly from Egge or one of our distributors – especially if you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase. Of course, it’s tremendously helpful if you actually call our sales desk (800-866-3443) for help as opposed to airing the issue out on a discussion forum. Our goal is provide quality products along with the best customer and technical service possible – we’re all on the same side in this regard. If you’re not happy we’re not happy – and we’ll do whatever we can to make it right.
