Thank you to all of our customers who took the time to fill out our customer survey in December and January. This information goes a long way in completing our ISO requirements.
 
In the areas of product development, IPD has moved into the C-15 articulated piston applications with the addition of our “crown-less” engine overhaul kits. We expect to release the crowns this Spring and will include 3406e later applications. You will also find the recently added gasket groups for the C-15 listed under new products.
