That's the correct price, sorry.

They are a precision die-cast, not machined, and have some pretty fancy "scrollwork" on the inside for oil cooling. There is an oil jet in the crankcase that sprays oil up into the bottom of the piston to keep the crown from melting at full power.

Expect to pay about $2000 for the set -- the 603 set is $2500.
