If you were to go with the replating , do you have new pistons ? And are the cylinders still within tolerances ? Or be done with all this plating "crap" and get a machine shop to install a set of "LA Sleeves" and bore to replacement piston clearance and ride happily into the sunset . Personnel experience leads me to the later ! YMMV Peter
do they have any 850 gilardonis anywhere?
I think my post may have been misread , I know of the Nikasil ( Nigusil) advantages , however my remarks were in reference to the replating route , not new cylinder , piston assemblies . Peter
I put 89mm Wiseco pistons in mine at least 100,000 km ago ( with the mentioned L.A Sleeves) and I'm now gettingaround 800 miles to a liter of oil , so I'm suggesting it's been a pretty good alternative . I had the cases bores outabout 4mm to allow for the thicker sleeves I wanted . Just how many miles is he really going to put on this rebuild ?It's nice to have a choice :) . Peter
