I am thinking about doing a 2.2 or 2.3L engine as my next engine.

I'm also intrested in getting some nice Cylinders.

Watch the pistons and the rings.. The cylinders have gotten MUCH better recently but we still toss the rings that come with the kits and ensure the pistons are not grossly out of balance.

As far as a wholesale program, there is not that much mark up in them at all and more than likely unless you want a couple dozen sets the importer won't take you too seriously...

Until recently we were throwing away 1/4 of what we were shipped, make sure you don't get the old stock.

Hey, Jake.... Have you tried billet Al cylinders before? What kind of problems do you run into? Have you ever tried silicon etching, rather than nickasil.

Sure, the LN cylinders are Billet aluminum turned from Alcoa extrusions..

Nikisil is all i care to work with, it works great, lives long and after 6 years we have it 100% perfected, I have enough other developments to keep me busy in oyher areas of the engine :-)
