engine rebuild, need help finding pistons

Hey fellow members,
I am currently 'rebuilding my 3.4 5vzfe due to a blown head gasket. I was wondering if anyone knows of a reputable company that makes pistons (wiseco, je etc.). Ive had trouble finding a good set of pistons, perhaps 1 step up from oem ( not doing a modded engine rebuild)

Who is doing the machine work??

Do they want you to source your own parts ??

Have you discussed this with the machine shop ??

This can open up a can of worms to the point your told to take your engine and parts and go elsewhere.

If your boring the block yourself and this is your first Toyota engine and you have no source for parts go with Toyota for parts.

It's hard to beat NPR, both for quality, and for price.

I am using a reputable local machine shop and I suggested on using forged pistons if possible. He is open to using any parts I want
